Jean-Marc Cavaillon is head of the department Infection and
Epidemiology at Institut Pasteur in Paris, France. Having obtained
his academic degrees from Paris University, he spent most of his
career working at Institut Pasteur. There, he has been director of
the General Immunolgy course, scientific director of
Euroconferences, and is head of the research unit Cytokines and
Inflammation. Cavaillon has authored 117 scientific publications,
92 reviews and chapters, and a book on cytokines. He has been
president of the International Endotoxin Society. He is member of
the editorial boards of numerous journals.
Christophe Adrie is physician in Saint-Denis, France and has got
his degree (MD, PhD) from Paris University. His main topics are
systemic inflammation in sepsis and non-septic ones with a
particular interest to the post-resuscitation phase after cardiac
arrest successfully resuscitated on both clinical and biological
aspects. He is also member of the Outcomerea database
(epidemiological studies) and Family-rea group which studies the
relationship between family and medical staff. He has authored 41
scientific publications, 9 reviews and 3 book chapters. He is a
member of the French Society of Critical Care Medicine.
“The comprehensive discussion of systemic inflammation from the mechanistic perspective is equally valuable to the experienced clinician or scientist.” –Doody's, July 2009
