Biography

Cécile Bénézeh is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Cardiovascular Science. Her research primarily focuses on the interplay between the immune system and cardiovascular health, with an emphasis on understanding how obesity and age-related diseases impact immune pathways. Her laboratory is dedicated to discovering key immune mechanisms that contribute to metabolic and cardiovascular health outcomes. Among her interests, she investigates the role of B1 cells—natural antibody-producing cells—in infections linked to obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Bénézeh’s work also involves studying the roles of macrophages in regulating lipid distribution and maintaining tissue homeostasis. She aims to identify therapeutic targets to boost immune responses and restore function in patients with obesity and related metabolic disorders. With several ongoing projects, Bénézeh leads inquiries into the effects of obesity on immune functionality and the potential for improving recovery outcomes after myocardial infarction through modulatory treatments.
