Vassili received his MD from Paris Necker University, and was trained as a clinical hematologist in the Lyon academic Hospitals. He did his immunology training under the supervision of Yong-Jun Liu, in Dardilly, France (Schering-Plough Laboratory for Immunological Research), and Palo Alto, California (DNAX Research Institute). After being an assistant professor in clinical hematology at the Necker medical school, he moved to the Institut Curie and started his lab in 2004. He and his team moved to Hôpital St Louis and Université de Paris at the end of 2018. He has always been working on human immunology and human disease physiopathology. His long time interests include dendritic cell and pDC biology, cytokine networks, and tissue inflammation. In the past ten years, he and his team developed a strong expertise in bioinformatics, computational biology, and mathematical modeling. He is fascinated by the complexity of the immune system and living systems in general, and loves working in interdisciplinary and international environments. Besides medicine and biology, he loves mathematics, linguistics, philosophy, making cocktails and playing ping-pong.
