Dr. Abdelilah Gounni is a professor of immunology at the Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba, and a scientist at the Children Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba.
Dr. Gounni’s research interests include the mechanisms of airways diseases and pathways regulating structural and inflammatory cell recruitment, activation and survival.
Over the years, his work has focused on the role of high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI), cytokines (interleukin-9, thymic stromal lymphopoeitin), soluble pattern recognition receptor (pentraxin-3) in regulating airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness and remodelling.
Most recently, his lab studies the function, expression and regulation of a neuronal chemo-repellent protein, Sema3E, in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Dr. Abdelilah Gounni received his PhD training at Pasteur Institute, University of Lille, France. He then underwent training as a National Swiss Foundation Research fellow at the Swiss Tropical Institute University of Basel, and as a postdoctoral fellow at the Meakins-Christie Labs Mc Gill University Montreal, Canada. In 1999, Dr. Gounni was one of only six investigators worldwide recognized with a Pharmacia Allergy Research Foundation fellowship award for his innovative research on IgE receptor mediated inflammation. In 2001, Dr. Gounni joined the Department of Immunology at the University of Manitoba, where he established a competitive program investigating the molecular mechanism of airway chronic diseases.
