Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDjamel Nehar-belaid is a research scientist with eight years of experience at The Jackson Laboratory, combining deep immunology and cancer biology training with strong computational biology and single-cell genomics expertise. He builds and leads data-driven pipelines for bulk and single-cell transcriptomic, ATAC-seq, and spatial datasets to probe immune remodeling across the lifespan, cancer microenvironments, pediatric autoimmune disease, and infant responses to infection and vaccination. His work includes developing classifiers for pediatric SLE, automated multi-omic frameworks for infant COVID-19, and computational profiling of NK-like senescent CD8+ T cells, reflecting a rare blend of wet-lab immunology insight and scalable bioinformatics. Based in Farmington, CT, he has a PhD from Université Pierre et Marie Curie and a track record of cross-lab collaborations that turn complex clinical genomics into reproducible, interpretable results.
