Biography
Delphine Boche is a Professor of Neuroimmunopathology within Medicine at the University of Southampton. Her research focuses on understanding neuroinflammation and its consequences in patients affected by neurological disease.
Delphine obtained her PhD in 1997 at Pasteur Institute, Paris France working on the AIDS encephalopathy in the FIV-cat and SIV-monkey models. She joined the University of Southampton in 1999 to study the neuroinflammation in acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases in the group led by Prog Hugh Perry (the Centre of Biological Sciences). In 2004, she moved to the Faculty of Medicine to investigate the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease in patients immunized against Aβ42, one of the main neuropathological features of this condition.
She was the recipient of a Bourse Roux (Institut Pasteur Fellowship, 1998), a European Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (2000), a MRC New Investigator Award (2006) and a Wellcome Trust Value in People (2009).
