Eric Vivier is a French professor of immunology at Aix-Marseille and hospital practitioner[1] at Marseille Public University Hospital. He is also Chief Scientific Officer at Innate Pharma,[2] coordinator of the Marseille Immunopôle immunology cluster,[3] and president of the Paris-Saclay Cancer Cluster.[4][5] He has published over 300 scientific articles[6] and serves on the editorial boards of numerous peer-reviewed journals. Vivier is a member of the expert panel of the European Research Council and serves on committees for several pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.[7][8][9][10]

Early life and education

[edit]

Vivier was born in Clamart, France.[11] He graduated from the Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire de Maisons-Alfort and received his doctoral degree in immunology from Paris XI University.[citation needed] He completed postdoctoral training as a Fogarty International Center Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School with Paul J. Anderson and Stuart F. Schlossman at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.[12][13]

Career

[edit]

Vivier joined Aix-Marseille University as a professor at the Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML) in 1993, becoming its director in 2008[14] until 2017.[2] He was one of the four immunologists who co-founded the biotech company Innate-Pharma in 1999.[15] In 2014, he co-founded the Marseille-Immunopole,[16][17][18] an immunology cluster connecting basic research, therapeutic innovation, and industrial development in the Aix-Marseille region.

Vivier became chief scientific officer of Innate Pharma in January 2018. In 2022, he became president of the PSCC (Paris Saclay Cancer Cluster[5][4]), which was designated in December 2022 as the first winner of the "Biocluster" call for expressions of interest under the France 2030 program.[19]

Vivier's research has focused on natural killer (NK) cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs).[20][21][22] His work has contributed to the understanding of the development, function, and therapeutic potential of these cells. His early research investigated the mechanism of inhibitory MHC class I receptors on NK cells and the concept of ITIM-bearing molecules. His group also identified the ITAM-bearing polypeptide, KARAP/DAP12/Tyrobp.[23] This research led to the discovery and characterization of ILC3 cells in human and mouse intestines. His contributions have significantly impacted the field of innate immunology.[24][25][26][27]
