Mathieu Coureuil is Director of Research (DR2) at Inserm. He received his Ph.D. in Cell Biology from University Paris-Sud, France, in 2006. Since then, he studies the interaction between N. meningitidis and human endothelial cells. He demonstrated the role of the meningococcus induced endothelial cell signaling during invasion of human vessels.  His current discovery-driven research focuses on determining the molecular mechanisms involved in the endothelial cell colonization. 

Currently, Mathieu Coureuil is interested in invasive meningococcal infections, from portal of entry to sepsis, as well as gonococcal invasiveness.
