My title: Understanding B cell and neutrophil dysfunction in cardiometabolic disease.
Intro to the lab: Cécile Bénézech is a researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the Centre for Cardiovascular Sciences. She did her PhD in Nantes, followed by a Postdoc in Birmingham. Her lab is interested in the interplay between the immune system and the cardiovascular system and thrive to discover key immune pathways involved in maintaining metabolic and cardiovascular health. The lab aims to understand how dysregulation of immune pathways associated with obesity or age or disease leads to increased risk of infection and cardiovascular diseases and to identify new immune therapeutic targets to boost immune defence and treat cardiovascular diseases.
