Biography<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dr. Melichar pursued her doctoral studies in the lab of Dr. Joonsoo Kang at the University of Massachusetts Medical School focusing on the molecular mechanisms influencing T cell fate decisions. She then moved to the west coast and began a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, with Dr. Ellen Robey where she developed novel platforms to study the development of both murine and human T cells in situ. In 2014, Dr. Melichar established her independent research group in Montreal. As an FRQS Junior 1 and CIHR New Investigator award recipient, Dr. Melichar is currently a researcher at the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Research Center and Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Montreal. Her laboratory is interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the development and function of T cells and uses insights from these studies to improve the efficacy of cellular therapies.<\/p>\n
