The goal of Prof. Netea’s research efforts is to translate information obtained through the assessment of human genetic variation in patients into novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. His group has a strong track record on translating genetic information into understanding pathophysiological mechanisms of disease. He has a broad expertise on the host mechanisms responsible for the recognition of bacterial and fungal pathogens and the activation of the innate immune system, on the one hand, and the genetic susceptibility to infections on the other hand. Prof. Netea has described the epigenetic mechanisms mediating innate immune memory (‘trained immunity’) for the first time, and their role in vaccination, infection, immune-mediated diseases, and cancer.
Mihai Netea is Professor of Experimental Medicine, Head of the Laboratory of Experimental Internal Medicine at the Radboud University in Nijmegen (the Netherlands). Professor of Experimental Medicine, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, The Netherlands (since 2007). Professor of Immunometabolism, University of Bonn, Germany (since 2017). Professor of Immunology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Craiova (since 2016).
Prof. Netea is Scientific Coordinator of the International Trained Immunity Consortium (since 2017) and of the Human Functional Genomics Project (since 2014).
