Pauline Hamon
Post-doctoral Fellow
Pauline Hamon is a postdoctoral fellow from France. During her PhD in Immunology, she characterized the dynamics and functions of monocytes and macrophages during inflammation and their role in response to chemotherapy in lung metastasis. Since she joined Dr. Merad lab in 2019, she has been studying the role of myeloid cells in the mechanism of resistance to cancer immunotherapy revealed by the combination of single-cell RNA sequencing (CITEseq) and multiplex imaging. She contributed to the design of a pipeline to analyze neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 treated patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma and to study the different macrophage programs associated with tumor development and response to treatment. Her goal is to combine high-dimensional and innovative technology to address macrophage functions and interactions within tumor lesions leading to the development of new macrophage targeted therapy.
