Pamela Jean Lescault

Pamela is from Massachusetts and earned a MS from the University of Vermont in 2008 where she worked under the supervision of Dr. Mariana Matrajt studying the developmental process of differentiation in the protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. She is currently working towards her Ph.D. under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Bond and Dr. Giselle Sholler using microarray and statistical analyses to understand cellular heterogeneity within Neuroblastoma patient samples with an eye towards personalized medicine. The University of Vermont combines cutting-edge research with a warm and competitive community in a beautiful country setting.
