Biography

Since January 2013 I am the project leader for T cell engineering in the laboratory of Dr. George Coukos at the Lausanne Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, which is based at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. I oversee a very talented, international team of post-doctoral scientists, students and technicians; together we are working to develop gene-engineered T cells and optimal combinatorial treatments for personalized immunotherapy of cancer patients.
