Jean Francois Fonteneau was born in Montaigu, France, in 1971. He received the M.A. degree in cellular biology from Rennes University, Rennes, France, in 1994, and the Ph.D. degree from Nantes University, Nantes, France, in 1999. During his thesis training, he studied CD8+ T lymphocytes response against melanoma in the INSERM Laboratory of Pr Francine Jotereau. He then joined the 2011 Nobel prize Dr Ralph Steinman's Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Fellow under the direction of Dr Nina Bhardwaj at Rockefeller University, New York, NY, USA, from 2000 to 2003, where he studied dendritic cells biology, notably cross-presentation of viral antigens and interactions between virus/myeloid DC/plasmacytoid DC. In 2003, he returned to Pr Francine Jotereau Laboratory, INSERMU892, Nantes to identify new melanoma epitopes recognized by CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. In 2009, he joined Dr Marc Gregoire's Laboratory, INSERMU892, Nantes, to study immune response against pleural mesothelioma and innovative strategies to induce Immunogenic cell death of this cancer.
