Intérêts de recherche

Notre recherche est axée sur la biologie fondamentale du système immunitaire inné dans les maladies inflammatoires chroniques et le cancer. Mon équipe étudie les cellules myéloïdes et les interactions immunométaboliques et hôte-microbiote dans la physiopathologie de ces maladies. Nous employons des approches ‘omiques’ ainsi que des analyses biochimiques et immunologiques pour caractériser les mécanismes moléculaires engagés. Plus récemment, l’application de séquençage transcriptomique de cellules uniques et de la transcriptomique spatiale nous a permis de cartographier le landscape immunitaire de plusieurs cancers, ex. du carcinome hépatocellulaire dans lequel nous avons identifié une population de cellules myéloïdes immunosuppressives de mauvais pronostique. Notre objectif de recherche est d’exploiter ces connaissances pour développer de nouvelles immunothérapies ciblées.

Le Dr Saleh est titulaire d’un doctorat en biochimie de l’Université McGill. Après avoir mené deux stages postdoctoraux aux laboratoires de recherche Merck et à l’Institut d’immunologie de La Jolla, elle a rejoint les rangs de la Faculté de médecine de l’Université McGill en 2005, où elle est devenue professeure titulaire de médecine, boursière William Dawson et directrice du Programme sur l’inflammation et le cancer, sur une durée de 15 ans. Elle a également occupé des postes conjoints au Centre de cancérologie de McGill Goodman et dans les divisions de gastroentérologie et de médecine de soins intensifs du Centre universitaire de santé McGill.

En 2019, le Dr Saleh a déménagé en France pour diriger la recherche en oncoimmunologie à l’Université de Bordeaux, où elle a occupé le poste de « Leader international en oncologie » décerné par la Fondation ARC (Agence de Recherche sur le Cancer) et a été récipiendaire d’une chaire de recherche Sénior de l’Initiative d’Excellence (IDEX).

Le Dr Saleh est reconnu internationalement comme un leader dans la recherche sur l’inflammation et le cancer. Elle a été élue pendant 3 années consécutives comme présidente élue, présidente et conseillère de l’American Society for Microbiology, Immunology Division, et a reçu plusieurs prix nationaux et internationaux, dont le prestigieux Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) Investigator Award (États-Unis), le prix Maud Menten des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC), le prix de nouveau chercheur de la Société canadienne d’immunologie (CSI), entre autres.
