Summary
Jacques Deguine is an immunology-focused institute scientist and director of the Immunology Program at the Broad Institute, combining 11+ years of bench and leadership experience across tumor immunology, inflammation, and innate cell biology. Trained at Institut Pasteur (PhD) and with postdoctoral work at UC Berkeley, he is fluent in advanced experimental platforms—flow cytometry, intravital two-photon imaging, microscopy and biochemistry—and has driven RNAseq and image-analysis pipelines. Previously a scientific editor at Cell and Trends in Immunology, he brings rare editorial insight into scientific communication and field trends alongside program management. Jacques bridges wet-lab rigor and computational fluency (R, Python, RNAseq workflows), routinely translating complex data into actionable research directions and funding-ready projects. Based in Greater Boston, he blends deep academic pedigree with pragmatic leadership at a major translational genomics hub.
