Study the contribution of immune cells to autoimmunity

Objective : Autoimmune diseases (AID) share common features, such as inflammation and autoantibody (autoAb) production, which drive disease progression. Current therapies often fail because they do not account for the diverse characteristics within AID subtypes. Our project aims to deeply characterize the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of immune cells in AID to better understand these mechanisms. By leveraging advanced technologies like single-cell sequencing, proteomics, and mathematical modeling, we seek to identify specific immune cell subsets and pathways involved in disease progression.

We have 2 main aims (graphical abstract):

Aim 1: Integrative analysis of B and T cell subsets, BCR/TCR, and autoAb repertoires in AID. We will deeply phenotype B and T cell subsets in both healthy individuals and AID patients, employing cutting-edge single-cell technologies to map their transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenetic profiles. This data will be integrated into an immunomics model to better understand the diversity of B/T cell responses across different diseases.

Aim 2: Deciphering myeloid cell responses in target organ homeostasis disruption. Focusing on target organs like the synovial joint, we will explore the interactions between myeloid cells and other immune cells, using advanced techniques including scRNAseq and imaging mass cytometry coupled with systems biology and machine learning. Our goal is to identify myeloid cell subsets and interactions that contribute to disease progression, paving the way for new therapeutic targets.

Our overall objective is to understand disease heterogeneity and identify potential candidates for the development of personalized therapies and innovative strategies targeting tissue homeostasis disruption.

Bioproduction

Objective : Develop cell production capacity for both research and clinical (GMP) grade cell-based advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) to be used in the IHU clinical trials.

Bioproduction of cell or cell-derived ATMPs for clinical applications is a critical part of innovative clinical trials to treat auto-immune diseases. It relies on two cardinal features:

1) a specific cell product, genetically engineered, or modified with antibodies, mRNA or complex culture conditions, meeting specifications that can address unmet clinical applications,

2) a GMP-compliant production that ensures that the end product meets preset specifications, including a robust potency test, and that is produced in sterile, traceable and reproducible fashion. We will complement our bioproduction capacity with private and academic partnerships, including partners of the IHU.
