Céline Mahieu, Graduate Student, Aaron Tward lab UCSF
Céline Mahieu is currently a graduate student at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) pursuing her doctorate in Molecular Oncology. Prior to starting her doctoral work, she received her Bachelors and Masters degree in Biomedical Sciences from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Under the co-supervision of Dr. Aaron Tward (UCSF) and Dr. Rene Bernards (Netherlands Cancer Institute), Celine’s doctoral research is focused on elucidating molecular mechanisms of squamous cell carcinoma pathogenesis. As part of this research, Céline has developed a novel method for the genome engineering of primary keratinocytes, piquing her interest in the development of novel epithelial based cell therapies.
