Biography
I completed my PhD studies with Dr Kelly McNagny at The Biomedical Research Centre, University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada. My research focused on the role of CD34 (and the related molecule podocalyxin) in immune responses, using mouse models of disease. Those studies identified the importance of CD34 for efficient eosinophil and mast cell migration to sites of inflammation during disease. Further, I demonstrated that loss of CD34 expression (using transgenic Cd34-/- animals) resulted in reduced disease severity in mouse models of asthma and ulcerative colitis.
My current research focus is aimed at characterizing changes in the bone marrow during disease and infection. The aim of these studies is to identify key molecules involved in feedback from sites of infection/inflammation to the bone marrow and alterations to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
