SUMMARY:Visiting Speaker – Dr Alain Tedgui
DESCRIPTION:\n \nDr Alain Tedgui from the Paris Cardiovascular Research Ce
 nter\, INSERM will be delivering a seminar a Imperial College on 10th Sept
 ember. His presentation is entitled ‘Role of Pathogenic and Regulatory A
 daptive Immunity in Atherosclerosis’\, and will take place at 5.30pm in 
 the Pippard Lecture Theatre\, located on the 5th floor of the Sherfield Bu
 ilding at South Kensington.\nDr Tedgui obtained his PhD in Fluid Mechanics
 \, then worked on the mechanisms of macromolecule transport in the arteria
 l wall that play a major role in atherogenesis\, in the Physiological Flow
  Studies Unit at Imperial College. After his post-doctoral fellowship he j
 oined the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in 1983
 . He headed an INSERM laboratory at the Paris Hospital Lariboisière from 
 2000 to 2004.\nHis current primary research is aimed at elucidating the ro
 le of apoptosis and inflammation in atherosclerosis. His group has shown t
 hat apoptotic death leading to the generation of apoptotic microparticles 
 is the major determinant of the thrombogenicity of the lipid core. More re
 cently\, he bridged the interface between vascular biology and immunology 
 in showing that a subset of immune cells\, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells\, 
 limits the development of atherosclerosis and can be used as a promising a
 nti-atherosclerotic strategy to curtail inflammation. He is the European E
 ditor of Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.\n \n\n
