Platelet Physiology and Analysis of Their Inflammatory Response to Biostress

Unravelling blood platelets’ contribution to pathophysiological mechanisms related to exogenous (infectious) or endogenous (transfusion) biostress with a focus on circulation, pulmonary and cardiovascular systems.

Combination of ex vivo, in vitro, and in vivo approaches to decipher platelet thrombo-inflammatory responses involved in these mechanisms.

– Thrombo-inflammatory role of platelets in a transfusion context: Improvement and evaluation of platelet concentrate preparation processes to optimize transfusion efficiency and develop personalized transfusion.

– Inflammatory role of platelets in an infectious context: figure out the fundamental mechanisms governing platelet thrombo-inflammatory responses during infection to define new molecular targets to regulate platelet’s anti-infectious inflammatory response.
