The pathology of microvascular inflammation
•Chair of the Banff Working Group for Peritubular Capillaritis
•Chair of the Banff Working Group for Thrombotic Microangiopathy
As renal pathologist, Nicolas focuses his research activities on the pathology of ABMR-related lesions, in particular the peritubular capillaritis (ptc), its histological features and clinical relevance in different immunological contexts. The pathology of thrombotic microangiopathy in kidney allograft (Tx-TMA) is his second topic of lively interest. While studying these lesions, Nicolas became co-chair of the dedicated Banff Working Groups for ptc and Tx-TMA. Currently, computational pathology, transcriptomics and spatially-resolved transcriptomics applied to kidney allograft pathology stimulate his curiosity and enthusiasm. Besides, Nicolas is active within the Renal Pathology Society, chairing the Scientific and Research Committee, involved in a multitude of world-wide educational activities, and also enjoys learning about the pathophysiology of monoclonal gammopathies of renal significance and membranous nephropathy.
