Biography

Nicolas Jacquelot is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. He completed his PhD in Cancer Immunology at the Gustave Roussy Institute under the supervision of Professor Laurence Zitvogel. His doctoral work focused on elucidating new molecular and cellular pathways that critically influence patient prognosis and outcomes in immunotherapy. Following his PhD, he pursued postdoctoral training in Professor Gabrielle Belz's group at the Walter Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and in Professor Pamela Ohashi's laboratory at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. His research has revealed the significant role of innate lymphoid cells in anti-tumor immunity and immunotherapy responses. In January 2023, Dr. Jacquelot established his own laboratory at the University of Calgary to innovate research trajectories and further investigate the immune system's role in cancer. His research aims to explore the tumor microenvironment using advanced methodologies, including sophisticated mouse models and patient samples, to gain insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind treatment efficacy and potential therapeutic targets.
