Jacques Fellay
Swiss physician and researcher
Jacques Fellay is a Swiss physician and researcher known for his work in the field of genomics and its application to infectious diseases. His research focuses on understanding the genetic factors that influence the human body's response to infections, particularly HIV and hepatitis.
Early life and education[edit | edit source]
Jacques Fellay was born in Switzerland. He pursued his medical studies at the University of Lausanne, where he developed an interest in the intersection of medicine and genetics. He later completed his doctoral studies in genomics, focusing on the genetic determinants of infectious diseases.
Career[edit | edit source]
Fellay began his career as a clinician, working in various hospitals across Switzerland. His interest in research led him to join the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, where he contributed to several groundbreaking studies on the genetic basis of infectious diseases.
Research on HIV[edit | edit source]
Fellay's research on HIV has been particularly influential. He has investigated how genetic variations in humans can affect the progression of HIV infection and the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapies. His work has helped identify genetic markers that predict the body's response to HIV, which has implications for personalized medicine and vaccine development.
Research on hepatitis[edit | edit source]
In addition to his work on HIV, Fellay has conducted extensive research on hepatitis B and hepatitis C. He has explored how genetic differences among individuals can influence the course of these infections and the response to treatment. His findings have contributed to the development of more effective treatment strategies for hepatitis patients.
Current work[edit | edit source]
Jacques Fellay is currently a professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where he leads a research group focused on human genomics and infectious diseases. His team uses advanced genomic technologies to study the interaction between human genetic variation and pathogens.
Awards and recognition[edit | edit source]
Fellay has received numerous awards for his contributions to medical research, including recognition from the Swiss National Science Foundation and international scientific communities. His work is widely published in leading scientific journals.
