Didier Trono - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Didier Trono is affiliated with the School of Life Sciences at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland. His research is primarily focused on infectious diseases, with a particular interest in retrotransposons, transposable elements, and their roles in human biology and disease. His work also encompasses the study of immune responses to viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Research Contributions

Didier Trono has made significant contributions to the understanding of how retrotransposons, which are genetic elements derived from ancient viral infections, influence human biology and disease. His research has illuminated the regulatory roles of these elements in human reproduction and brain development. Additionally, Trono has contributed to the understanding of humoral responses to COVID-19, especially in immunocompromised individuals, and has been involved in the development of potent antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants. His work extends to the study of colorectal cancer, highlighting the impact of transposable elements on gene expression and cancer progression.
