Emmanuel Mignot, MD, PhD
Dr. Mignot is Craig Reynolds Professor of Sleep Medicine at Stanford University. He discovered that human narcolepsy is caused by the autoimmune loss of ~70,000 hypothalamic neurons secreting the wake-promoting peptide hypocretin/orexin. He identified HLA-DQB1*06:02 and T-Cell receptor genes as major susceptibility genes across ethnic groups, which act together to promote a highly selective T cell mediated autoimmune process triggered by influenza infection. Dr. Mignot has received numerous awards including the 2023 Breakthrough Prize. He is a member of the National Academies of Sciences and Medicine. He works on many aspects of sleep research and on unravelling the etiologies of various autoimmune diseases affecting the brain. His approaches are strongly analytic, and include genetics, proteomics, statistics, and deep learning.
