Eric Vivier is a French professor of immunology at Aix-Marseille and hospital practitioner[1] at Marseille Public University Hospital. He is also Chief Scientific Officer at Innate Pharma,[2] coordinator of the Marseille Immunopôle immunology cluster,[3] and president of the Paris-Saclay Cancer Cluster.[4][5] Vivier is a member of the expert panel of the European Research Council and serves on committees for several pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.[6][7][8][9]

Early life and education

Eric Vivier was born in Clamart, France.[10] Vivier is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). He graduated from the Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire de Maisons-Alfort and received his doctoral degree in immunology from Paris XI University.[11] He completed postdoctoral training as a Fogarty International Center Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School with Paul J. Anderson and Stuart F. Schlossman at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.[12][13]

Career

Vivier joined Aix-Marseille University as a professor at the Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML) in 1993, becoming its director in 2008[14] until 2017.[2] He co-founded the biotech company Innate-Pharma in 1999[15] and in 2014, he co-founded the Marseille-Immunopole,[16][17][18] an immunology cluster connecting basic research, therapeutic innovation, and industrial development in the Aix-Marseille region. Vivier was the chief scientific officer of Innate Pharma in January 2018 and in 2022, he served as president of the PSCC (Paris Saclay Cancer Cluster[5][4]).

Vivier's research has focused on natural killer (NK) cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs).[19][20][21] His work has contributed to the understanding of the development, function, and therapeutic potential of these cells. His early research investigated the mechanism of inhibitory MHC class I receptors on NK cells and the concept of ITIM-bearing molecules. His group identified the ITAM-bearing polypeptide, KARAP/DAP12/Tyrobp.[22] This research led to the discovery and characterization of ILC3 cells in human and mouse intestines.
