[BIC-announce] New face @ BIC

[Sylvain Baillet, Dr]

Dear All:

On behalf of the BIC community, it is my great pleasure to welcome Dr. Iness Hammami as new Research Assistant at the BIC Cyclotron Unit: Iness will be responsible for the synthesis and quality control of FDG radiopharmaceutical for PET imaging. She is replacing Mr. Wajih Ben Tahar, who is joining Capital Health Authority (Dalhousie University) as Quality Assurance Manager, after working at our Cyclotron Unit with the greatest professionalism and dedication over the past several years.

Please join me in wishing all the best luck and success to Wajih - also a happy father of a new baby boy! - and the warmest welcome to Iness.

Iness short bio:
Iness has obtained her Bachelor degree in Chemical – Biopharmaceutical Engineering from Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal. She pursued doctoral studies in Metabolic Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, in collaboration with the Instituto Oncologico Veneto (Italy). Her research focused on metabolic events in immunosuppression, in the context of identifying novel targets for immunotherapy.

After graduating in 2011, she was a postdoc fellow at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal where she specialized in metabolic modeling. In 2013, she joined McGill as post-doctoral fellow in the department of Microbiology and Immunology where she investigated the metabolic profile of tolerogenic and activated dendritic cells.

Have a great summer everyone,

Sylvain.
