UMR-996 INSERM – Paris-Saclay University

Inflammation, Microbiome and Immunosurveillance

The UMR-996 is organized in 3 teams

• Team I, CreatIVe – Chemokines, immunoregulation and virome
• Team II, ITALI – Immunotoxicology, Allergy & Immunogenicity
• Team III, LILIBUGS – Microbiome and metabolome in liver disease: from mechanisms to treatment

It is composed of biologists combining expertise in the fields of Immunology, Virology, Pathophysiology and Toxicology and is connected to the commissions 5, 7 and 8 of Inserm. Some of us also have clinical activity thus promoting the development of translational research projects. Our objectives are to analyze the pathological mechanisms of three classes of diseases: immune (autoimmunity and immunodeficiencies) and inflammatory related to chemical agents/drugs or metabolic liver disorders.
