• ABOUT ME•
Melanie R. Power Coombs, Ph.D.
- I obtained my Ph.D in Microbiology and Immunology at Dalhousie University. I examined the innate immune response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
- I did my first Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neonatal Infectious Diseases at Harvard Medical School. I studied some of the differences in the the innate immune responses of neonates.
- I did my second Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pathology at Dalhousie University. I looked at the ability of some phytochemicals to influence the immune response, how iron chelators decrease the needed chemotherapy dose and how antimicrobial peptide from fish can kill cancer cells.
Thoughts...
EVERYWHERE THAT SCIENCE IS DONE WE ARE REAL PEOPLE TRYING TO ANSWER REAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND US. WHAT QUESTION ARE YOU TRYING TO ANSWER?
Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist. Everything we do after will seem inadequate. M. Leavitt
I enjoy hiking, spending time playing card games and camping. What do you enjoy?
Consider what you eat. Real Food - there may be phytochemicals in there!
