Mihai Netea in 2016

Mihai G. Netea (born 1968, Cluj, Romania) is a Romanian Dutch physician and professor at Radboud University Nijmegen, specialized in infectious disease, immunology, and global health.

Netea studied medicine at the Medico-Pharmaceutical Institute in Cluj-Napoca.[1] He received a doctoral degree in 1998 at Radboud University, with a dissertation on the role of cytokines in sepsis,[2] written under the direction of Jos van der Meer.[1]

He joined the University of Colorado as a postdoctoral researcher and then returned to conclude his clinical training as an infectious diseases specialist.[3] Since 2008 he heads the division of Experimental Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Nijmegen University Nijmegen Medical Center.[2]

Netea's field of study includes the innate immune system and its capacity to "memorize" infections,[3] as well as its recognition of Fungi pathogens. He examined system's response to Candida albicans, a sepsis trigger. Additionally, he tried to search for genetic diseases that can make individuals more vulnerable to this type of infections.[2]

Netea co-published more than 900 scientific papers[4] in journals such as New England Journal of Medicine, Nature, Science, and PNAS.[2]

For his academic work, Netea received several grants: a Vidi grant in 2005, a Vici grant in 2010, and European Research Council Consolidator Grant in 2012.[2] In 2016, he was awarded the Spinoza Prize.[5][6] He is a member of Academia Europaea since 2015 and of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2016.[5][7][8]

Netea is known for his breakthrough in the area of Trained immunity Netea, Mihai G.; Joosten, Leo A. B.; Latz, Eicke; Mills, Kingston H.

Netea's research attempts to translate information obtained through the assessment of human genetic variation in patients into novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
