Jacques Fellay

Jacques Fellay is a Full Professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the BIO department. His research focuses on human genomics, infectious diseases, and personalized health. Fellay's laboratory investigates the role of genetic variation in immune responses to infectious agents, employing genomic tools such as genome-wide association studies and transcriptomics. He holds additional roles, including Head of Precision Medicine at University Hospital (CHUV) in Lausanne and Group Leader at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB). His work contributes to understanding inter-individual differences in infection outcomes through computational and quantitative biology approaches.

Jacques Fellay is a researcher specializing in precision medicine, human genomics, and infection. His work focuses on understanding the genetic factors that influence disease susceptibility and treatment outcomes. Fellay's research includes studies on the role of genetic variation in viral infections such as hepatitis C and HIV, as well as the impact of genetic factors on immune responses to pathogens like SARS-CoV-2. His studies have explored how polymorphisms in genes such as IL28B and HLA-C affect viral clearance and immune responses. Fellay's research also addresses the genetic basis of adverse drug reactions and the importance of genetic diversity in public health strategies.
