Overview

Anne De Paepe is a researcher affiliated with Ghent University Hospital in Belgium, with a primary focus on medicine. Their academic contributions cover a range of topics mainly centered around respiratory and allergic conditions.

Their research prominently features the study of asthma and respiratory diseases, respiratory and cough-related research, allergic rhinitis and sensitization, and particular molecular pathways such as IL-33, ST2, and ILC pathways. Additionally, they investigate sinusitis and nasal conditions, inhalation and respiratory drug delivery, as well as dermatology and skin diseases.

De Paepe has often collaborated with several co-authors, including Ignacio Dávila, María Isidoro-García, Catalina Sanz, Miguel Estravís, and María Gil-Melcón.

Their recent notable publications include:

  • "Type 2 immunity in allergic diseases," 2025, published in Cellular and Molecular Immunology
  • "Genetics and Epigenetics of Atopic Dermatitis: An Updated Systematic Review," 2020, published in Genes
  • "Clinical performance of an antibody-free assay for plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 to detect early alterations of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with subjective cognitive decline," 2023, published in Alzheimer's Research & Therapy
  • "Molecular Analysis of IL-5 Receptor Subunit Alpha as a Possible Pharmacogenetic Biomarker in Asthma," 2021, published in Frontiers in Medicine
  • "Epithelial barrier dysfunction and associated diseases in companion animals: Differences and similarities between humans and animals and research needs," 2024, published in Allergy

De Paepe frequently publishes in venues such as Allergy, Genes, Frontiers in Medicine, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and the Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology.

Their subfields of expertise extend into physiology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, immunology and allergy, molecular biology, and immunology.
