Overview

Sandra Pellegrini is affiliated with the Institut Pasteur in France. Their research spans multiple fields, primarily focusing on medicine, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, and immunology and microbiology. The subfields of study include immunology, molecular biology, genetics, public health, environmental and occupational health, and cancer research.

Their main research topics cover interferon and immune responses, cytokine signaling pathways and interactions, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, RNA regulation and disease, immunodeficiency and autoimmune disorders, T-cell and B-cell immunology, and reproductive biology and fertility.

Notable recent publications include:
