I'm Melissa Sen Phuong, and I am a 5th-year MD-PhD student studying at the University of Ottawa. For my thesis, which is supported by the Vanier Graduate Scholarship from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, I`m working under Dr. Subash Sad in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. My work will involve studying interactions between pathogens (i.e. P. aeruginosa and S. aureus) and innate immune signaling mechanisms during different disease states seen in cystic fibrosis using human cell lines and primary cells.
