Supported by fellowships, notably from the American Association of Immunologists (AAI), I have worked with Dr. Hélène Decaluwe (Ste Justine Hospital Research Center/University of Montreal-Canada) in deciphering the impact of key cytokine signals on CD8 T cell exhaustion. This seminal work was among the first studies demonstrating a key role for cytokine signals in the process of CD8 T cell exhaustion (Beltra et al. PNAS 2016). In 2017, I joined Dr. E. John Wherry’s lab at the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN-USA) for a postdoctoral training. Supported by a Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy (PICI) fellowship, I redefined the heterogeneity and developmental biology of exhausted CD8 T cells (TEX). I notably discovered a new subset of TEX named TEX intermediate (TEXint) that mediates the benefits of PD-1-based therapy (Beltra et al. Immunity, 2020). Following up on that work, I subsequently identified the transcription factor STAT5a as a key driver of TEXint cells development and provided first evidence for the possibility of therapeutically reprogramming TEX cells into better cell-states (Beltra et al. Immunity, 2023). Supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy (PICI), I recently joined the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel as an Assistant Professor. Here, my program is centered on deciphering new axes regulating the biology of TEX cells that could be leveraged therapeutically to improve PD-1-based therapies. </span> </div> </div> <div class="row border-all border-color-blue padding-15px-tb margin-30px-bottom"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 team-block text-left team-style-1 sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <figure> <div class="team-image xs-width-100"> <a href="#"><img src="https://immunologysummit2025.synergiasummits.com/storage/speakers/1725267833.png" alt="" data-no-retina=""></a> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-left sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <div class="font-size-26px font-weight-600 text-extra-dark-gray">Dr. Sophie Brouard</div> <div class="text-medium font-weight-500 text-dark-gray"></div> <div class="text-extra-large font-weight-500 text-blue margin-10px-top margin-20px-bottom">Title: <font class="text-light-blue text-italic">Breg cells as new therapy in transplantation</font></div> <span class="more"> Doctor Sophie Brouard is director of research in the INSERM unit located in Nantes (france) and working in Immunology and transplantation. She is an immunologist interested in fundamental and translational questions on the process of rejection and tolerance in transplantation. The central questions her group addresses are what are the immunological mechanisms involved in rejection and tolerance in human and Is it possible to identify biomarkers for these two processes that would allow a better monitoring of the patients. Before taking her position of Director of research in the INSERM Unit of Nantes, Sophie Brouard is also doctor in Veterinary Science since 1994. Since 2011, she held position of director of the CENTAURE national RTRS transplantation network in France. She received the Bronze medal from the french CNRS national research institute in 2004, the price from “medicine academy” in 2012 and the medal of innovation of the CNRS in 2020. She funded two companies, TclandExpression and Effimune. She participates and is co-authors of 10 patents. She published around 200 papers and review.

She studied Biology at the Sorbonne University and subsequently trained in immunology by following the Pasteur’s Institute courses (Paris). She completed her PhD in the team of Dr De Saint-Basile and Pr Fisher (Imagine Institute - Paris) where she explored the role of the Kinesin-1 in the regulated secretion of immune cells. She finally discovered that Kinesin-1 is directly involved in the process of mast cell degranulation, paving the way toward new therapeutic solutions for allergy treatment (PCT/IB2016/000617). Then, she decided to join Emmanuel Donnadieu’s laboratory at the Cochin Institute (Paris) to focus her work on epigenetic and cancer research. She studied the role of an epigenetic factor, named CXXC5, using murine models and discovered that the hematopoietic and immune system of these animals was characterised by a premature ageing. Then she identified the cause of this accelerated ageing, which was due to an overproduction of G-CSF by stromal cells present in the bone marrow microenvironment. This discovery, that could help the elderly to better fight age-related diseases (viral infection or cancer), led to a patent (EP23305142.5) and various publications. Finally, she joined Paul Beavis’ lab, focussing her research on the development of the next generation of CAR-T cell using CRISPR/Cas9 HDR technology. Her current interest focuses on the identification of genes directly involved in the process of CAR-T cells exhaustion, known as a major barrier to CAR-T cell therapy success. </span> </div> </div> <div class="row border-all border-color-blue padding-15px-tb margin-30px-bottom"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 team-block text-left team-style-1 sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <figure> <div class="team-image xs-width-100"> <a href="#"><img src="https://immunologysummit2025.synergiasummits.com/storage/speakers/1726653439.jpg" alt="" data-no-retina=""></a> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-left sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <div class="font-size-26px font-weight-600 text-extra-dark-gray">Dr. Olga Rojas</div> <div class="text-medium font-weight-500 text-dark-gray">Canada</div> <div class="text-extra-large font-weight-500 text-blue margin-10px-top margin-20px-bottom">Title: <font class="text-light-blue text-italic">B cell immune response during neuroinflammation</font></div> <span class="more"> Dr. Rojas is an immunologist focusing on the role of immune cells in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. During her postdoctoral fellow at University of Toronto, Dr. Rojas uncovered the role of intestinal Plasma cells during neuroinflammation. The findings revealed that a subset of microbiome-specific IgA Plasma cells is key to fight brain inflammation in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The “gut-brain axis” is emerging as an important target in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. However, immunological mechanisms underlying this axis remain poorly understood in Alzheimer’s. Currently, Dr. Rojas lab works at understanding the role of intestinal immune cells as a key mediator of the gut-brain axis in health and disease. </span> </div> </div> <div class="row border-all border-color-blue padding-15px-tb margin-30px-bottom"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 team-block text-left team-style-1 sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <figure> <div class="team-image xs-width-100"> <a href="#"><img src="https://immunologysummit2025.synergiasummits.com/storage/speakers/1729497536.jpg" alt="" data-no-retina=""></a> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-left sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <div class="font-size-26px font-weight-600 text-extra-dark-gray">Dr. Ramona Moles</div> <div class="text-medium font-weight-500 text-dark-gray">The University of Mississippi Medical Center, USA</div> <div class="text-extra-large font-weight-500 text-blue margin-10px-top margin-20px-bottom">Title: <font class="text-light-blue text-italic">Innate immunity in HTLV-1 infection</font></div> <span class="more"> Dr. Ramona Moles is an Assistant Professor in the Center for Immunology and Microbial Research (CIMR) at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Dr. Moles's research laboratory aims to understand innate immunity's role in persistent infection and viral oncogenesis. Dr. Moles received her Ph.D. at the University of Kansas, where she studied the oncogenic retrovirus HTLV-1. Her research focused on microRNAs and DNA repair dysregulation involved in HTLV-1 pathogenesis. Dr. Moles showed that targeting the DNA repair machinery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for HTLV-1 patients. After completing her Ph.D. in Pathology, Dr. Moles continued her research at the National Cancer Institute (NCI, NIH), investigating the immunological responses against HTLV-1 in vitro and in vivo. The Center for Cancer Research awarded Dr. Moles's work twice with the Federal Technology Transfer Award for characterizing early immunological responses against HTLV-1 infection. This knowledge is crucial to developing an HTLV-1 vaccine. </span> </div> </div> <div class="row border-all border-color-blue padding-15px-tb margin-30px-bottom"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 team-block text-left team-style-1 sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <figure> <div class="team-image xs-width-100"> <a href="#"><img src="https://immunologysummit2025.synergiasummits.com/storage/speakers/1729498041.png" alt="" data-no-retina=""></a> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-left sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <div class="font-size-26px font-weight-600 text-extra-dark-gray">Prof. Jacques Demongeot</div> <div class="text-medium font-weight-500 text-dark-gray">University Grenoble Alpes, France</div> <div class="text-extra-large font-weight-500 text-blue margin-10px-top margin-20px-bottom">Title: <font class="text-light-blue text-italic">Modelling the V(D)J recombination in human and mouse</font></div> <span class="more"> Jacques Demongeot received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University Joseph Fourier (UJF) of Grenoble in 1976 and M.D. from UJF in 1978.
