Francesc Miro Mur

I am a researcher in the lab of "Systemic Autoimmune Diseases" of the VHIR. It is a recent operating team focused in the research of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of autoimmune diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome. Previously, as an awarded Biomedical Researcher (PERIS-ICS) I studied the role of immune cells in modulating the inflammation during the acute phase of stroke.

I am a researcher in the lab of "Systemic Autoimmune Diseases" of the VHIR. It is a recent operating team focused in the research of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of autoimmune diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome. Previously, as an awarded Biomedical Researcher (PERIS-ICS) I studied the role of immune cells in modulating the inflammation during the acute phase of stroke.

As a biochemist and cell biologist I started my career in basic research and sharing time as a biochemist lecturer at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Regulation of cell function and activity by protein phosphorylation were the aims of my research. I moved to Paris to carry out my postdoctoral research career. My first postdoc was at CNRS-CEA to study the cell cycle progression and apoptosis under the control of p53 tumour suppressor.. In my second postdoc at Institut Curie I made a change starting a research career on immunology, looking into cellular and functional interaction between T lymphocytes and dendritic cells. It was during this amazing stage I collaborated with clinicians and saw the benefits of translational research. I spent two years at Cibbim working as a team leader in projects about molecular mechanisms of inflammation driving to senescence and about immunological basis of adverse reactions to bioimplants. At IRB I took the opportunity of doing a project in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases as infectious agents in amebiasis, and also I turned to neuroimmunology and did research in brain ischemia.

Researchers have used an innovative protocol to identify people with this autoimmune disease who have a higher risk of cancer.

It will allow the promotion of research on systemic autoimmune-based diseases that especially affect women of childbearing age and, therefore, can also appear during pregnancy.

The study showing how thrombocytopenia increases the risk of thrombosis in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome has been considered the best paper published in 2021.
