Biography

Dr. Lippé studied adenovirus replication during his master’s degree at McMaster University under the direction of Dr. Frank Graham. He then studied the antigenic presentation of these viruses during his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia with Dr. Wilfred Jefferies. He subsequently completed postdoctoral studies at the laboratory of Dr. Marino Zerial at the EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany), where he studied intracellular transport. He began his academic career in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology in 2001, where he is currently a full Professor. Author of some forty articles, some of them in prestigious journals, he sits on several national and international committees for evaluating applications for funds and scholarships, while participating in the review of scientific articles.
