Sophie Hue

Sophie HUE, MD, PhD is PU-PH (Professeur Universitaire-Praticien hospitalier) at the East Paris University (UPEC), France. She obtained her PhD from Paris V University (France) following her work on the role of NKG2D/MICA interaction in villous atrophy during coeliac disease. She then moved to Oxford University to perform her postdoctoral trainee in the Fiona Powrie lab, where she studied the role of IL23 in inflammatory bowel disease. 

Since 2007, she works in the team 16 at Mondor Institute for Biomedical Research. Her ongoing research covers the field of mucosal and skin immunology with particular interest on the role of hair follicle stem cells (HF-SC) in the pathogeny of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Recently, her team discovered that HF-SC isolated from HS patients displayed a pro-inflammatory phenotype linked to a replicative stress. These studies are performed with the ultimate aim to provide novel insights for research on therapeutic in this devastating disease.

She teaches immunology at the UPEC Faculty of Health for medical students but also for students from the Faculty of Sciences at Master 1 and Master 2 level. She supervises science thesis and M2 students. 

Since 2014, she has been in charge of the Master's office of the Faculty of Health. She joined EUR-LIVE to develop the Masters offer towards a multi-scale transversal approach on vulnerability in the field of health.
