Mathieu Coureuil

Mathieu Coureuil is group leader in the team.
MC is a senior scientist at the Necker-Enfants Malades Institute (« Chargé de Recherche », Inserm). He received his Ph.D. in Cell Biology from University Paris-Sud, France, in 2006. Since then, he studies the interaction between N. meningitidis and human endothelial cells. He demonstrated the role of the meningococcus induced endothelial cell signaling during invasion of human vessels.  His current discovery-driven research focuses on determining the molecular mechanisms involved in the endothelial cell colonization. Besides, Mathieu Coureuil developed a new thematic studying S. aureus in the context of chronic infections.


Currently, MC is interested in invasive meningococcal infections, from portal of entry to sepsis, as well as chronic S. aureus infections.

Engineered human microvasculature to study human infectious diseases

27/03/2023 . Implantation of engineered human microvasculature to study human infectious diseases in mouse models.Sophia Schönherr-Hellec et al iScience 2023 Animal models for studying human pathogens are crucially lacking. We describe the implantation in mice of engineered human mature microvasculature consisting of endothelial and perivascular cells embedded in collagen hydrogel that allows investigation of pathogen ...
