Constance Finney is an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary, specializing in Immunoparasitology with a focus on understanding the immune system's response to various parasitic infections. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Biology from Imperial College in 2003 and completed her Doctorate at the University of Edinburgh in 2007. Her research investigates the immune system's decision-making processes when faced with conflicting signals from parasite killing and host wound healing. By establishing murine infection models, her work aims to elucidate the dynamics of co-infections and their impact on immune response and disease pathology. Finney's lab examines the roles of cellular and molecular mechanisms during intestinal nematode and protozoan infections. She teaches multiple courses, including Immunology. Throughout her career, she has received several prestigious awards, including the Canadian Society Zoology Public Outreach Award and multiple postdoctoral fellowships. Her significant contributions to the field are reflected in her numerous publications, which explore various aspects of host-parasite interactions and immune responses against infections.
