Background

About Annabelle Pfeifle

As a PhD candidate working at Health Canada and graduate from the Biochemistry Co-op program (BSc) at McMaster University, I have accumulated extensive lab experience in academic, industry, and government research positions. Within biochemistry, I have consistently tailored my research to focus on immunology and host-pathogen interactions. The co-op program has enabled me to combine the theoretical knowledge of my courses with applicable hands-on experience in diverse health science subjects. Working with innovative start-up companies such as Adapsyn Bioscience and Rapid Dose Therapeutics, I gained experience in efficient drug discovery and delivery methods, as well as an appreciation for the collaborative scientific process. In conjunction, I have refined my fundamental biochemical techniques during my research positions at both the Zhu and Lu labs at McMaster University, studying gene regulation in cancer and stem cells.
