Caroline Schild-Poulter is a Scientist at the Robarts Research Institute, Western University, with a strong background in molecular biology and genetics. Her academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, with a major in Molecular Biology, followed by a Master and PhD from the same university, focusing on mechanisms regulating gene expression. Her doctoral training included a two-year internship at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA. After completing her PhD, she further honed her expertise as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institut de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire du CNRS in Strasbourg, France, and then at the Loeb Research Institute, which is now part of the Ottawa Health Research Institute. Her current research specializes in understanding the molecular events that lead to cancer development, particularly investigating DNA damage responses and the signaling pathways activated in the presence of double-stranded DNA breaks. She aims to uncover the roles that various proteins, including RanBPM and Ku, play in DNA repair mechanisms and apoptosis, contributing to insights into cancer and aging.
