Mandeep Kaur, PhD
Dr. Mandeep Kaur draws on her extensive scientific experience in immuno-oncology, personalized medicine, and an interest in product commercialization to assist Choate’s life sciences clients in patent prosecution, portfolio management, and diligence.
Dr. Kaur was a postdoctoral associate in the laboratory of Professor Jianzhu Chen at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research (MIT), where she focused on the development of humanized mice and neo-antigen CAR-T therapy for AML. While pursuing her PhD at Dartmouth, Dr. Kaur conducted research in the laboratory of Professor Michael Cole. Her PhD research focused on understanding the mechanisms of gene regulation by the oncogene c-Myc and providing insights into novel repression and transactivation mechanisms. Also at Dartmouth, Dr. Kaur was a research assistant in the laboratory of Dr. Yolanda Sanchez, where she performed research on cell cycle regulation in yeast and mammalian systems. She is a Koch Institute Quinquennial Fellow and an IMPACT Fellow (MIT).
