Christine Bourgeois

Christine Bourgeois currently works at the IMVA center (Research Center for immunology of viral and autoimmune diseases), UMR 1184, Kremlin-Bicetre, France directed by Dr Roger Le Grand. Her current research interest are (a) identifying the mechanisms of HIV persistence in tissue such as adipose tissue. The team is currently evaluating the intrinsic immune properties of adipose tissue and the impact of local HIV persistence on adipose tissue functions; (b) characterizing the T cell responses in HIV infected patients (either during the primary responses or in the rare proportion of HIV infected patients who spontaneously control the virus).
