Dr. Chloé James

Summary CV

Chloé James, MD PhD, born in 1977, is an associate professor and hospital practitioner in hematology and hemostasis at Bordeaux University Hospital, and leads an Inserm ATIP-AVENIR – Bettencourt Schueller Foundation team at Bordeaux University, created in 2011. This team focuses mostly on studying the interaction between blood and endothelial cells. During her training, Chloé James was actively involved in the discovery of the JAK2V617F mutation in myeloproliferative neoplasia, within INSERM unit U1009, and under the supervision of William Vainchenker. She is co-inventor of the FR 04 11 480 patent. She works half-time in the hematology laboratory of Bordeaux University Hospital and half-time in INSERM unit U1034. She runs an outpatient clinic for patients with a myoproliferative syndrome with thrombotic complications and coordinates the implementation of a cell collection from these patients for research purposes. Chloé James also set up a national translational study on biological markers of thrombosis in patients with myeloproliferative disease. Discoveries emerging from these research activities will be used to study the role of thrombosis in cerebral small artery disease using cutting-edge approaches and techniques.
