The Meakins-Christie Laboratories welcomes Dr. Eva Kaufmann, Assistant Professor in McGill’s Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences.
Dr. Kaufmann’s research program will be focused on how environmental exposures (infectious, allergic, and air pollution) influence both upper and lower airway inflammation through innate immune “training” of hematopoietic stem cells. Dr. Kaufmann received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and PhD degrees in Germany, followed by post-doctoral research training at McGill University. She then moved to Queen’s University as a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Immunology and Inflammation before being recruited back to McGill.
