Dr. Perron completed his Ph.D. in Virology/Neuroimmunology at Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble, France, in 1991, and later earned his HDR in Medical Biology from the Faculty of Medicine at University Grenoble-Alpes in 2000. Dr. Perron’s groundbreaking research focuses on human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), particularly the HERV-W family, which he originally isolated and characterized during his Ph.D. studies. His work has led to a better understanding of the role of HERVs in autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and various psychoses, with a particular focus on their activation during infections like COVID-19. He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications and contributed significantly to the scientific community with more than 1,700 nucleotide and 500 protein sequences deposited in public databases. As a leading figure in the field, Dr. Perron has been instrumental in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting HERV-W, including the humanized antibody temelimab, which has been tested in Phase II studies for MS and is currently being evaluated for long/post-COVID symptoms. His recent work also uncovered a novel translational mechanism in human cells, revealing a mechanism of ribosomal readthrough that produces pathogenic HERV-W envelope proteins.
