Biography

Dr. Jeanette Boudreau investigates how human natural killer cell immunogenetics program immune responsiveness to cancer and infectious diseases. Using bioinformatics, humanized in vivo models, cell-signal analysis, and highly-parametric flow cytometry, Dr. Boudreau seeks to understand how genetic variation creates diversity in human immune potentials. Her interdisciplinary and collaborative work aims to translate research findings into precision therapies.
