Biography
Emmanuel Montassier is a medical doctor specialist in emergency medicine, and trained in Microbiology (M.D.; Ph.D.). He became a professor at Nantes University, France, in 2020. He authored 138 publications (H-factor 33). He is the coordinator of a French Ministry of Health PHRC on community-acquired pneumonia.
His research is focused on the host-microbiome interactions during lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia), specifically on the role of the lung microbiome in pneumonia. He recently demonstrated that the deletion of the normal respiratory microbiome core is the first step leading to pneumonia (Nature Med 2023).
