Speaker

Ana-Maria Lennon-Duménil is a Franco-Chilean immunologist. She created her lab. at the Curie Institute in 2004, where she heads today the Immunity and Cancer department. Her career has focused on the study of the molecular and cellular mechanisms used by antigen presenting cells to sample their environment. She has explored this question from the cell biology, physics and immunological perspectives by combining the use of microfabrication with cell and tissue imaging. Her work has highlighted the mechanisms that enable dendritic cells to coordinate their function (s) with their migration in time and space. It has further revealed how these cells sense tissue physical cues, which in turn impact their behavior and function. She has >120 publications, obtained 3 "European Research Council” grants and was nominated in 2024 at member of the French Academy of Sciences.
