Her research focuses on the quantitative understanding of how cells, in particular cancer cells, dynamically respond to cytokine signals from the immune system. She received a BSc in Biology from Université de Montréal and earned a PhD in Biochemistry from Harvard University working with Daniel Branton. She then joined Peter Sorger’s laboratory at MIT as a postdoctoral associate for the launch of an interdisciplinary research collaborative at the interface of biology, informatics and microdevice engineering and from 2003 to 2008, worked as a research scientist and scientific coordinator at the Cell Decision Processes Center at MIT and Harvard. In addition to her scientific endeavors, she is committed to promoting diversity in science through better mentorship and leadership.
