Olivier NF Cexus

Dr. Olivier NF Cexus is a Principal Investigator in the Section of Immunology at the University of Surrey's School of Biosciences. He holds a PhD in Immunology from the University of Southampton and has extensive postdoctoral experience, including roles at the Singapore Immunology Network (A*STAR) and the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology (IMCB). His research focuses on immuno-metabolism, translational research using patient avatars, and immune-sufficient brain organoid models.

Education:

• PhD in Immunology, University of Southampton, UK (Advisor: Sonia Quaratino)

Research Interests: Dr. Cexus explores molecular and cellular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, integrating cutting-edge technologies like single-cell multi-omics and spatial metabolism. His lab develops patient-derived avatars and immune-sufficient organoids to study diseases such as autoimmune thyroiditis and neurodegenerative conditions.

Collaborations: Active partnerships include Prof. Florent Ginhoux (Institut Gustave Roussy, Paris) on immuno-metabolism and Dr. Lee Gethings (Waters Corporation) on mass spectrometry-based multi-omics approaches.

Labs/Teams: Leads a lab advancing organoid models for disease modeling and therapeutic discovery, with a focus on immune-metabolic interactions in complex diseases.
