This is an event for faculty, students, and staff of Keio University.

Date&Time 17:00 -18:00, September 14, 2026
Venue 2F Meeting room, Center for Integrated Medical Research, Shinanomachi Campus, Keio University
Title “Intracellular DNA Sensors: From Antiviral Immunity to Cancer Immunotherapy and Aging”
Speaker Nicolas Manel, PhD
Group Leader, INSERM Director of Research, Institut Curie, in the center of Paris, France
Language English

Registration Onsite only / No pre-registration required

Our research addresses the fundamental biological question of how organisms distinguish self from non-self. Following our initial work on HIV detection by intracellular innate immune sensors, our research has expanded to encompass broader mechanisms of nucleic acid sensing, particularly the cGAS-STING pathway, and their roles in viral infections, cancer, and aging, as well as their therapeutic potential. In this talk, I will present our latest advances in these areas.
