Dr. Kolja Eppert
Dr. Eppert is an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at McGill University and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (Child Health and Human Development Program). He supervises graduate students in the Division of Experimental Medicine.
Dr. Eppert completed his PhD in Dr. Irene Andrulis’ lab at the University of Toronto, where he identified novel genes that drive the development of solid cancers such as sarcomas and colorectal carcinoma. He followed this with a postdoctoral fellowship in Dr. John Dick’s laboratory at the at the University Health Network in Toronto where he studied the gene programs that regulate cancer stem cells and developed leukemia stem cell gene signatures.
In addition, Dr. Eppert was appointed Canada Research Chair in Cancer Stem Cell Biology (Tier 2), and has been successful in obtaining external grants from CIHR, NSERC, the Cole Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
