Vanessa Dumueax

Dr. Vanessa Dumueax is an Assistant Professor with a joint appointment in Anatomy and Cell Biology and Oncology at Western University. She holds a Pharm.D., Ph.D., and B.Sc. Her research focuses on genomic associations with disease prognosis, particularly in immune response systems, gut microbiome dynamics, and their interactions with lifestyle factors. Key projects include predicting breast cancer treatment responses, single-cell genomics of immune responses, and microbial transcriptomics. She leads the Dumeaux Lab, accessible via their lab website.

Education:

• Pharmaceutical Doctorate (Pharm.D.)
