Maxime Kinet

Dr. Maxime Kinet is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine, specializing in rheumatology. He cares for patients with musculoskeletal conditions and conducts research on how tissues interact with inflammation and immune responses. His academic journey includes a medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College, a PhD in developmental biology and programmed cell death from Rockefeller University, and clinical training at UCSF (Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship).

Research Interests: Dr. Kinet’s work bridges immunology and cell biology, focusing on immune-mediated tissue remodeling. Key areas include T helper cell dynamics, fibroblast niches in skin inflammation, and non-apoptotic cell death pathways in C. elegans. His studies often integrate molecular mechanisms with clinical observations, such as immune-related adverse effects of immunotherapy.

Publications: His research spans immunology, cell biology, and developmental biology, with notable contributions to understanding T-cell-fibroblast interactions and alternative cell death pathways. Recent work highlights immune-related skin conditions and regulatory T cell signaling.

Collaborations: Active collaborators include Michael Rosenblum (UCSF), Vadim Koshkin (UCSF), and Hobart Harris (UCSF). His network includes researchers studying similar topics in immunology and developmental biology.
