Marie-Hélène Normand’s bio
Marie-Hélène Normand is currently 11 months into a Master’s Program in Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Montreal. She holds an undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Sherbrooke. Supervised by Dr. Mélanie Dieudé, her research focuses on characterizing the impact of vascular injury triggered autoimmune responses on the development of lupus nephritis and end stage renal failure (ESRF). With this research she aims to identify biomarkers and new intervention targets to develop tests and therapies that will help monitor and treat patients with lupus nephritis to prevent ESRF and the need for transplantation.
