Dr. Thomas Balligand will be giving a seminar on 20 June from 12.45pm to 2pm at L12.
Date : 20/06/2024 12:45 - 20/06/2024 14:00

Thomas Balligand trained as a medical doctor and started his junior residency in internal medicine at the UCLouvain in Brussels. As a medical student, he already harbored a keen interest in fundamental research. This led him to start a PhD at the de Duve Institute in the lab of Prof. Stefan Constantinescu. His doctoral research focused on myeloproliferative neoplasms driven by CALR mutations.
By the end of his PhD, his love for science and aspiration for a career in research continued to grow, leading him to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab of Dr. Hidde Ploegh at Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, in Boston, USA. He is currently working on the design of small antibody fragments, termed 'nanobodies', as tools to improve the treatment of different types of diseases, including influenza and cancer. He also has acquired extensive experience in the design of nanobody-based radiotracers for PET/CT imaging in in vivo models.
We look forward to seeing you at L12 on 20 June !
