Biography
Fabienne Tacchini-Cottier studied immunology at Stanford University, California, where she obtained her PhD. She then became "maitre-assistante" at the Department of Pathology, University of Geneva.
Research Interest
Among the several factors influencing Th cell development, cytokines themselves critically regulate this process. Using this model, it has been demonstrated that IL-12 and IL-4 promote Th1 and Th2 cell development, respectively. In addition, cross-talks between different cells at the site of infection also influence the development of a Leishmania-specific immune response.
