Rafael de Almeida Paiva

Rafael de Almeida Paiva serves as a Research Fellow at the Curie Institute in Paris, France, where he is embedded within the Immunity and Cancer Unit (U932) and the specialized team investigating CD4 lymphocytes, innate T lymphocytes and cancer. His position focuses on advancing fundamental research at the critical intersection of immunology and oncology.

His core research expertise spans:

• Immunology
• Cancer Research
• T Cell Biology
• Lymphocyte Biology
• Tumor Immunology
• Innate Immunity

Dr. Paiva's current work centers on dissecting the functional roles of CD4⁺ T cells and innate-like T lymphocytes within tumor microenvironments, with implications for developing novel immunotherapeutic strategies against cancer. His research contributes to understanding immune evasion mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

No information is available regarding students supervised, grant funding, or scientific awards in the current directory listing. His collaborative work occurs within the Immunity and Cancer unit's research infrastructure, specifically targeting lymphocyte-cancer interactions through molecular and cellular approaches.
