Vincenzo Di Bartolo is a senior researcher at the Institut Pasteur, Paris, France. He studied biology and biochemistry at the University of Pisa, Italy. He received the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) in Immunology from Université Paris Descartes. In 1995, he joined the Molecular Immunology Unit at the Institut Pasteur (Paris, France) to study TCR signaling. He worked in the Molecular Immunology Unit, Lymphocyte Cell Biology Unit, and now at the Immunoregulation Unit. He investigated the role and the regulation of protein tyrosine kinases ZAP-70 and Lck. He also worked on molecular dynamics and cytoskeletal organization at the immunological synapse and regulation of T-cell functional responses in anti-tumor immunity. He currently investigates the role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory disease. He is a member of the French Society for Immunology.
