Early life and education


Yves Lévy was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and arrived in France with his parents in 1973. He was naturalised one and a half year later. His passion was literature, before he turned to medicine. After studying medicine and finishing his residency he dedicated himself to HIV research in 1986.[1]



Career


Levy became a professor of clinical immunology, specializing on immunotherapies and vaccines for HIV infection, immunodeficiencies and infectious diseases.[2]


Since 1985 he has been working in different research units at the Inserm, the French Institute of Health and Medical Research.[2]


From 1996 to the present he has directed the Department of Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases at Henri Mondor de Créteil Hospital.[2]


In 2006, Yves Lévy became scientific director of the vaccine programme of the French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis (ANRS).[3]


In 2011, he created the Vaccine Research Institute laboratory of excellence under the Investissement d’Avenir (Investment for the Future) programme and has been its executive director.[3]


From 2010 to 2012, Lévy was vice-dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Paris-Est Créteil University (UPEC). He became a special advisor to the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.


In June 2014, after 29 years of working at INSERM Lévy was appointed its CEO.[2] During confirmation hearings, a conflict of interest was brought up for the first time because his wife had been appointed by Emmanuel Macron as the minister of health in May 2017.[1]
