Dr. Honnorat has more than 25 years of experience in the field of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) and autoimmune encephalitis (AE). The topic of his presentations will be the role of genetics in autoimmune encephalitis (AE).
He is head of the Department of Neuro-Oncology at the neurological hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon and a team leader of the “Synaptopathies and Autoantibodies (SynatAc)” at the Institute NeuroMyoGene (UMR INSERM U1217, CNRS 5310). He is also chair of the French rare disease reference center “paraneoplastic neurological syndrome and autoimmune encephalitis” since 2007, which collects samples from all over France and provides care and follow-up for people with rare diseases. He has been working on PNS and AE for more than 25 years. His main work combines Basic and Clinical Research at multiple levels (patient’s cohorts; biological collections; cellular and animal models; biomarkers...) to explore the pathophysiologies of both brain tumors and neuro-inflammatory diseases and to detect specific autoantibodies as biomarkers of these diseases and as tools to understand synaptic functions.
We invite you to register today for what promises to be just one of the fascinating presentations of the conference.
