Dr. Nicolas Touret is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Alberta. With a Ph.D. from the University of Nice, he has cultivated a research focus on elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in the initiation of immune responses when organisms are challenged by pathogens. His laboratory utilizes advanced imaging technologies capable of resolving the behavior of single molecules, aiming to define the dynamic state changes of receptors on innate immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, during their interactions with pathogen molecules. His selected publications include significant contributions to our understanding of lipid droplet dynamics, macropinocytosis mechanisms, and phagosomal membrane properties. Through these studies, Touret aims to deepen our understanding of immune responses and develop innovative approaches to address infectious diseases.
