Marion Humbert

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the field of Immunology (T cell responses in particular), currently working in the group of Prof. Johan Sandberg, Center for Infectious Medicine, Department of Medicine Huddinge, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, with a particular focus on mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells.

Before joining Johan Sandberg’s group, I completed a first postdoctoral training in the group of Prof. Annika Karlsson at the Division of Clinical Microbiology, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, where I investigated T cell responses to viral infections.

I obtained my MSc (Immunology, Microbiology, Infectious diseases) from Grenoble Alpes University, France, and my PhD (Immunology) from the University of Geneva, Switzerland (Prof. Stéphanie Hugues’ group). My PhD work aimed at investigating the modulation of peripheral T cell responses by unconventional antigen-presenting cells, in the contexts of anti-tumoral immunity and autoimmunity.
