...The 2022 list includes: Paul Bieniasz Marina Caskey Luciano Marraffini Jean-Laurent Casanova James G. Krueger Michel C. Nussenzweig Jeffrey V. Ravetch Charles M. Rice Clarivate selects influential scientists for its prestigious list by first compiling the most highly cited scient...

...Vosshall, Robin Chemers Neustein Professor and head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior, has been named a member, and Jean-Laurent Casanova, senior attending physician, professor, and head of the St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases, has been ...

...Two papers from the laboratory of Jean-Laurent Casanova previously demonstrated that at least 10 percent of severe cases can be chalked up to either a genetic condition that cripples IFN production, or misguided antibodies that attack those crucial proteins. Now, two new studies ...

...The institute will also support COVID research launched by geneticist Jean-Laurent Casanova at the outset of the pandemic. His effort to identify genetic differences that predispose some people to developing severe COVID-19 quickly evolved into a collaboration of extraordinary gl...

...How could one virus provoke such a severe reaction in a select few, but leave most people symptom-free? In a new study published in Cell, Rockefeller’s Jean-Laurent Casanova answers this question by examining the genetics of an otherwise healthy patient who contracted a severe ca...

...Rockefeller immunologist Jean-Laurent Casanova examined the protein-coding genomes of more than 100 patients who had suffered from unexplained severe staph infections. The common genetic thread linking some of th...

Jean-Laurent Casanova, professor and head of the St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases at The Rockefeller University, has been named a 2014 Sanofi-Institut Pasteur Award winner for his paradigm-shifting discovery of the role of single-gene mutations in infect...

...Rockefeller’s Jean-Laurent Casanova is the world leader in identifying gene mutations responsible for extreme variations in infectious disease outcomes. This research can identify human genes that are essential for resisting viral infection or whose mutation prevents the virus fr...
