Bio

My expertise is in Immunology and cancer cell biology. I completed my PhD in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Guelph, where I studied oncogenic signaling pathways driving lung cancer growth and development.

I continued my research as a Postdoctoral Fellow at BC Cancer with a focus on how oncogenes and tumour cells can influence the tumour immune microenvironment.

Before joining NanoVation, I was part of teams at Zymeworks and adMare BioInnovations driving preclinical development of a variety of different immunotherapies.
