Background:
Pierre Leblanc received a BS. in Biochemistry from McGill University in Montreal, and a PhD in biochemistry at McMaster University, where he studied the structure-function relationship of biological membranes. After this, Dr. Leblanc studied molecular and cellular immunology at MIT, where he focused on the gamma/delta T-cell receptor. He then moved to Tufts University Medical School, and, after that, to Boston University Medical School, where as a staff scientist, he studied autoimmunity in HIV infected individuals. Pierre has held several positions in industry including posts as a senior scientist for antibody product development, and as a director of molecular biology at a small company in Franklin Massachusetts where he worked on the development of microarray targets for the study of malaria. Dr. Leblanc has also worked as an application specialist on the development of a 96-well ultrafiltration plate at Millipore. Before joining CIMIT, Dr. Leblanc served as a consultant in molecular neurobiology at McLean Hospital.
