Romain FORT is a physician in internal medicine who graduated in 2018. Romain completed his medical specialty internship in LYON, and joined the team of Pr. Philippe CONNES in 2016 (Laboratoire Interuniversitaire de Biologie de la Motricité - LIBM EA7424, Vascular Biology and Red Blood Cell team) during his Master degree, which focused on the “role of hydroxyurea as a nitrogen monoxide donor in the modulation of erythrocyte deformability in sickle cell patients”. His medical thesis also focused on sickle cell disease with the study of immunosuppression in sickle cell patients during crisis via the monocytic marker HLA-DR. Romain was subsequently appointed head of the internal medicine clinic at Hôpital Edouard Herriot (HCL) for 2 years, where he joined the “Sickle Cell Reference center” as a full-time clinician. During this period, Romain continued his research work on red blood cell pathologies in coordination with the LIBM team. Currently, Romain works as a contractual hospital practitioner in intensive care unit. In March 2021, Romain published 12 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. |

1. Sickle cell crises cause a decrease in the monocyte HLA-DR marker, suggesting induced immunosuppression. 2. Hydroxyurea, as a nitric oxide donor, has a major role in modulating erythrocyte deformability in the sickle cell patient. | |
