Overview

Alain Fournier is affiliated with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique in Canada. Their research focuses primarily on the field of medicine, with subfields spanning immunology, surgery, pharmacology, physiology, and radiology including nuclear medicine and imaging.

Their scholarly output includes studies that intersect several biomedical topics, notably cardiovascular, neuropeptides, and oxidative stress research; apelin-related biomedical research; immune cell function and interaction; calcium signaling and nucleotide metabolism; T-cell and B-cell immunology; monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies research; and glycosylation and glycoproteins research.

Fournier's recent published papers include:

  • Isatuximab Acts Through Fc-Dependent, Independent, and Direct Pathways to Kill Multiple Myeloma Cells (2020, Frontiers in Immunology)
  • SAR442085, a novel anti-CD38 antibody with enhanced antitumor activity against multiple myeloma (2022, Blood)
  • Tumor-induced natural killer cell dysfunction is a rapid and reversible process uncoupled from the expression of immune checkpoints (2024, Science Advances)
  • Lipidated peptides derived from intracellular loops 2 and 3 of the urotensin II receptor act as biased allosteric ligands (2021, Journal of Biological Chemistry)
  • Abstract 2266: SAR442085, a next generation anti-CD38 antibody with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against multiple myeloma (2020, Cancer Research)

Frequent co-authors who have collaborated with Fournier include Angéla Virone-Oddos, Dmitri Wiederschain, Marielle Chiron, Sahar Kassem, and Béré Diallo. Collaboration has been documented multiple times with these researchers, emphasizing ongoing partnerships in related scientific investigations.

The venues where Fournier often publishes include Cancer Research and the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology CITE, each featuring multiple publications, along with Frontiers in Immunology, Blood, and Science Advances.
