Milena Hasan earned her Ph.D. from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, for her work on mechanisms employed by MCMV to evade NK cell surveillance, in the group of Prof. Stipan Jonjic at the University of Rijeka, Croatia. Dr Hasan joined the Institut Pasteur, Paris for her post-doctoral training in Prof. James Di Santo’s team, to assess the role of different transcriptional factors in murine NK cell development. With the creation of the Center for Human Immunology (CIH) at the Institut Pasteur by Prof. Matthew Albert and Dr Lars Rogge in 2007, Dr Hasan’s focus of interest moved towards human immunology, translational medicine and innovative technologies for biomedical research. She established and lead the CIH technology platform, then directed the CIH, and in 2014 initiated a technology unit dedicated to advanced biomarker discovery, that she is leading today. The “Single Cell Biomarkers Unit of Technology and Service (scBiomarkers UTechS)” supports Pasteurian and external scientific projects through state-of-the-art approaches for cell functional assays, cell phenotyping and sorting, protein profiling and single cell multi-omics. Very motivated for teaching, Dr Hasan has established and is directing the annual practical course for M2 students enrolled in the “Advanced Immunology Course”.
