Julie Lasselin obtained her PhD from the University of Bordeaux in 2012 with Dr. Lucile Capuron as her supervisor. She was then a post-doctoral fellow with Prof. Mats Lekander and Prof. John Axelsson in Stockholm (Sweden) in 2014–2015; and with Prof. Manfred Schedlowski in Essen (Germany) in 2016–2017, funded by the Alexander von Humboldt foundation. Dr. Lasselin is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm, Sweden), and at the Department of Psychology at Stockholm University (Sweden). Her work includes basic science research using clinical and experimental models in humans, and focuses on the integrative science of sickness. More particularly, she aims to characterize in details the overt and subjective behavioral changes induced by inflammation in humans, investigate the adaptive relevance of sickness behavior, analyze the psychological and biological factors that interact with cytokines to affect the brain and behavior, and the underlying mechanisms. Dr. Lasselin also investigates how overt changes in behavior during inflammatory sickness affect the relationship with others and the care one receives, and how this in turn modulates health outcomes. Dr. Lasselin is Associate Editor for Brain, Behavior, and Immunity – Health and a member of the editorial board of Brain, Behavior and Immunity. She is part of the steering committee and webmaster of the European Psychoneuroimmunology Network (EPN, https://pnieurope.eu). https://bsky.app/profile/julielasselin.bsky.social
