Sergio Muñiz Castrillo, MD PhD

Mon principal sujet de recherche était l'immunogénétique dans les encéphalites auto-immunes et les syndromes neurologiques paranéoplasiques. J'ai mené plusieurs études pour déterminer si ces troubles étaient liés à l'antigène leucocytaire humain (HLA), ainsi que les associations entre HLA et les caractéristiques cliniques et immunologiques. Ce travail a constitué ma thèse de doctorat. De plus, j'ai mené ou participé à d'autres études portant sur les aspects cliniques, la détection des anticorps ou les complications des inhibiteurs du point de contrôle immunitaire, entre autres. J'ai également été impliqué dans les activités cliniques et de laboratoire du Centre de Référence.

Le temps que j'ai passé à Lyon a été extrêmement important pour moi tant sur le plan professionnel que personnel. J'ai eu l'opportunité de développer une carrière scientifique dans un environnement motivant, convivial et solidaire.
