Education
Reis e Sousa was educated at Atlantic College in Wales,[6] Imperial College London (BSc) and the University of Oxford where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1992 for research on dendritic cells, and the phagocytosis of antigens by Langerhans cells supervised by Jonathan Austyn.[8]
Career and research
After working as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in the United States, with Ronald Germain, he joined the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) in 1998.[9] He headed the Immunobiology Laboratory which became part of the Francis Crick Institute in 2015.[9] He is also a professor of Immunology at Imperial College London[10][7] and honorary professor at University College London (UCL) and King's College London.[9]
Caetano's research centres on the mechanisms involved in sensing infection, cancer and tissue injury.[9] He has helped to define the cells and pathways involved in innate immune detection of RNA viruses, fungi and dead cells.[9][11][12][13]
Awards and honours
Reis e Sousa was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2019, and is also a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci), a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)[2] and was made an Officer of the Order of Sant'Iago da Espada by the Government of Portugal in 2009.[9] He was awarded the Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine in 2017.[1]
