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 ...

Genomic analysis of S. aureus sequential isolates

27/03/2023 . Genomic analysis of Staphylococcus aureus sequential isolates from lungs of patients with cystic fibrosisDing et al Microbes and Infection 2023 Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant pathogen in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) in France and, around 80 % of them harbored S. aureus in their lungs. This study investigated virulence and antimicrobial resistance-associated ...

Lung-Adapted Staphylococcus aureus Trigger a Proinflammatory Response

07/05/2022 . Lung-Adapted Staphylococcus aureus Isolates With Dysfunctional Agr System Trigger a Proinflammatory ResponseElodie Ramond et al The Journal of Infectious Diseases 2022 BackgroundStaphylococcus aureus dominates the lung microbiota of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and persistent clones are able to establish chronic infection for years, having a direct deleterious impact on lung function. However, ...
