Canada has one of the highest rates of IBD worldwide.

In clinical trials, this drug has been shown to be extremely effective in reducing the severity of IBD. The clinical efficacy of this drug has been clearly demonstrated, and the purpose of my project is to determine the exact biological mechanism by which vedolizumab exerts its effect.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\"><strong>Awards:<\/strong><br>\u2022  CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fndry-slideout-block\" data-fndry-js=\"slideout-block\">\n    <a  data-fndry-js=\"slideout-content\" href=\"#fndry-block-64c8263d1285d\" type=\"button\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-content\" aria-controls=\"fndry-block-64c8263d1285d\">\n        <div\n\t         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img-container\"        >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/levingslab\/files\/2026\/05\/jonathan-han-bcchr.jpg\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img\" style=\"--slideout-img-zoom:1.25\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content\">\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap\">\n                <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap-container fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--slideout-heading-gap:5px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading fndry-text-h3SectionHeadline26\">Jonathan Han<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <span class=\"fndry-slideout-toggle\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt fndry-text-slideoutExcerpt\">PhD Candidate<\/p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"fndry-block-64c8263d1285d\"\n         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-hidden fndry-collapse--hidden\"\n         data-fndry-js=\"slideout-hidden\">\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content-hidden\">\n\t\t\t                <button data-fndry-js=\"slideout-close-btn\"\n                        class=\"fndry-slideout-block__close-btn\"\n                        aria-label=\"Close\"\n                        aria-controls=\"fndry-block-64c8263d1285d\">\n                <\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border fndry-pt--3 fndry-pb--2 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pl--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\" style=\"border-radius:5px;--fndry-bg:var(--fndry-color-light)\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter fndry-align--start fndry-justify--between\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--4 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<h3 class=\"fndry-heading fndry-heading--left\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">Jonathan Han<\/h3><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-text-bannerSubheading14\" style=\"--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">PhD Candidate<\/p><div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top fndry-pt--1 fndry-mt--2\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-list fndry-list--custom fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col\" style=\"--fndry-list-marker-color:var(--fndry-color-primary);--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\"><\/ul><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top padding-left-3  fndry-pt--1 fndry-pb--1\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-social-list fndry-justify--start fndry-align--center fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--fndry-social-list-size:1.5rem;--fndry-social-list-color:var(--fndry-color-primary)\">\n\t<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--8 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--3 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\">High levels of insulin is found in the obesity linked type 2 diabetes (T2D), a metabolic disorder in blood glucose homeostasis caused by insulin resistance.

To further understand how Tregs work in health but not in autoimmunity, I investigate one particular new mechanism of Treg action. We have discovered that Tregs can produce so called chemokines, we believe to facilitate close proximity to the cells, they are regulating. My aim is to find the mechanisms controlling Treg chemokine production, so that we might be able to restore this process when it is broken. Furthermore I&#8217;m studying Treg gene signatures, and how they might be used track Treg &#8216;fitness&#8217; in the clinic. I&#8217;m particular interested in autoimmune type 1 diabetes and childhood arthritis.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\"><strong>Awards:<\/strong><br>\u2022  Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Postdoctoral Fellowship<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fndry-slideout-block\" data-fndry-js=\"slideout-block\">\n    <a  data-fndry-js=\"slideout-content\" href=\"#fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\" type=\"button\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-content\" aria-controls=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\">\n        <div\n\t         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img-container\"        >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/levingslab\/files\/2026\/05\/antoine-sicard-bcchr.jpg\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img\" style=\"--slideout-img-zoom:1.25\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content\">\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap\">\n                <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap-container fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--slideout-heading-gap:5px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading fndry-text-h3SectionHeadline26\">Antoine Sicard<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <span class=\"fndry-slideout-toggle\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt fndry-text-slideoutExcerpt\">Postdoctoral Fellow<\/p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\"\n         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-hidden fndry-collapse--hidden\"\n         data-fndry-js=\"slideout-hidden\">\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content-hidden\">\n\t\t\t                <button data-fndry-js=\"slideout-close-btn\"\n                        class=\"fndry-slideout-block__close-btn\"\n                        aria-label=\"Close\"\n                        aria-controls=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\">\n                <\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border fndry-pt--3 fndry-pb--2 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pl--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\" style=\"border-radius:5px;--fndry-bg:var(--fndry-color-light)\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter fndry-align--start fndry-justify--between\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--4 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<h3 class=\"fndry-heading fndry-heading--left\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">Antoine Sicard<\/h3><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-text-bannerSubheading14\" style=\"--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">Postdoctoral Fellow<\/p><div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top fndry-pt--1 fndry-mt--2\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-list fndry-list--custom fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col\" style=\"--fndry-list-marker-color:var(--fndry-color-primary);--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\"><\/ul><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top padding-left-3  fndry-pt--1 fndry-pb--1\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-social-list fndry-justify--start fndry-align--center fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--fndry-social-list-size:1.5rem;--fndry-social-list-color:var(--fndry-color-primary)\">\n\t<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--8 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--3 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\">I am a French clinician scientist (MD, PhD) specialized in nephrology, kidney transplantation and transplant immunology.

My project aim to establish the expression profiles of tribbles proteins and to understand their functions in human and mouse Tregs.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\"><strong>Awards:<\/strong><br>\u2022  Canadian Institutes of Health Research \/ Frederick Banting and Charles Best \u2022  \u2022  \u2022  \u2022  Canada Graduate \u00a0Scholarship &#8211; Doctoral Award<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fndry-slideout-block\" data-fndry-js=\"slideout-block\">\n    <a  data-fndry-js=\"slideout-content\" href=\"#fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\" type=\"button\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-content\" aria-controls=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\">\n        <div\n\t         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img-container\"        >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/levingslab\/files\/2026\/05\/maggie-yao-bcchr.jpg\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img\" style=\"--slideout-img-zoom:1.25\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content\">\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap\">\n                <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap-container fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--slideout-heading-gap:5px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading fndry-text-h3SectionHeadline26\">Maggie Yao<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <span class=\"fndry-slideout-toggle\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt fndry-text-slideoutExcerpt\">PhD Candidate<\/p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\"\n         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-hidden fndry-collapse--hidden\"\n         data-fndry-js=\"slideout-hidden\">\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content-hidden\">\n\t\t\t                <button data-fndry-js=\"slideout-close-btn\"\n                        class=\"fndry-slideout-block__close-btn\"\n                        aria-label=\"Close\"\n                        aria-controls=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\">\n                <\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border fndry-pt--3 fndry-pb--2 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pl--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\" style=\"border-radius:5px;--fndry-bg:var(--fndry-color-light)\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter fndry-align--start fndry-justify--between\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--4 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<h3 class=\"fndry-heading fndry-heading--left\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">Maggie Yao<\/h3><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-text-bannerSubheading14\" style=\"--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">PhD Candidate<\/p><div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top fndry-pt--1 fndry-mt--2\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-list fndry-list--custom fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col\" style=\"--fndry-list-marker-color:var(--fndry-color-primary);--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\"><\/ul><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top padding-left-3  fndry-pt--1 fndry-pb--1\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-social-list fndry-justify--start fndry-align--center fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--fndry-social-list-size:1.5rem;--fndry-social-list-color:var(--fndry-color-primary)\">\n\t<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--8 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--3 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\">Inflammatory bowel disease is a condition that is believed to be driven by pathogenic inflammatory responses against commensal bacterial antigens.

I obtained my PhD from King\u2019s College London where I explored the benefits of using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology to improve the therapeutic efficacy of human Tregs for treating transplant rejection. As a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Levings\u2019 Lab, I am now investigating how this concept of CAR Treg therapy can be adapted to treat inflammatory bowel disease. I am also researching how novel gene editing techniques (CRISPR) can be used to maximise the efficacy of CAR Tregs and promote their implementation in the clinic.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\"><strong>Awards:\u00a0<\/strong><br>\u2022  Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Fellowship<br>\u2022  Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR) Trainee Award<br>\u2022  Mining for Miracles Postdoctoral Fellowship (Declined)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fndry-slideout-block\" data-fndry-js=\"slideout-block\">\n    <a  data-fndry-js=\"slideout-content\" href=\"#fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\" type=\"button\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-content\" aria-controls=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\">\n        <div\n\t         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img-container\"        >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/levingslab\/files\/2026\/05\/andrew-brown-bcchr.jpg\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img\" style=\"--slideout-img-zoom:1.25\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content\">\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap\">\n                <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap-container fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--slideout-heading-gap:5px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading fndry-text-h3SectionHeadline26\">Andrew Brown<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <span class=\"fndry-slideout-toggle\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"fndry-slideout-block__excerpt fndry-text-slideoutExcerpt\">PhD student<\/p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div id=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\"\n         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-hidden fndry-collapse--hidden\"\n         data-fndry-js=\"slideout-hidden\">\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content-hidden\">\n\t\t\t                <button data-fndry-js=\"slideout-close-btn\"\n                        class=\"fndry-slideout-block__close-btn\"\n                        aria-label=\"Close\"\n                        aria-controls=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\">\n                <\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border fndry-pt--3 fndry-pb--2 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pl--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\" style=\"border-radius:5px;--fndry-bg:var(--fndry-color-light)\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter fndry-align--start fndry-justify--between\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--4 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--4 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<h3 class=\"fndry-heading fndry-heading--left\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">Andrew Brown<\/h3><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-text-bannerSubheading14\" style=\"--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">PhD student<\/p><div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top fndry-pt--1 fndry-mt--2\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-list fndry-list--custom fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col\" style=\"--fndry-list-marker-color:var(--fndry-color-primary);--color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\"><\/ul><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-responsive-border border-top padding-left-3  fndry-pt--1 fndry-pb--1\">\n\t<ul  class=\"fndry-social-list fndry-justify--start fndry-align--center fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--fndry-social-list-size:1.5rem;--fndry-social-list-color:var(--fndry-color-primary)\">\n\t<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--8 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pr--3 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pr--sm-1 fndry-pl--sm-1\">\n\t<p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\">To better harness their immunosuppressive function, regulatory T cells (Tregs) can be engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) on the cell surface. CARs are designed to recognize and activate Treg immunosuppressive mechanisms upon contact with disease-specific antigens. However, further research is required before CAR Tregs achieve clinical utility, for example, to extend the duration of benefit, reduce donor variability, and increase the safety of administered cells. My PhD research aims to address these challenges using genetic engineering strategies to design CAR-Tregs with minimal risk and optimized disease-specific function. That is, to create &#8220;designer&#8221; Tregs that are specifically suited to establish immune tolerance for transplantation and autoimmune diseases.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-paragraph--left\"><strong>Awards:\u00a0<\/strong><br>\u2022  Anne and John Brown Fellowship in Diabetes and Obesity Related Research<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fndry-slideout-block\" data-fndry-js=\"slideout-block\">\n    <a  data-fndry-js=\"slideout-content\" href=\"#fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\" type=\"button\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__slideout-content\" aria-controls=\"fndry-block-63922b5de2fe4\">\n        <div\n\t         class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img-container\"        >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/levingslab\/files\/2026\/05\/katie-macdonald-bcchr.jpg\" class=\"fndry-slideout-block__img\" style=\"--slideout-img-zoom:1.25\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fndry-slideout-block__content\">\n            <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap\">\n                <div  class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading-wrap-container fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--row\" style=\"--slideout-heading-gap:5px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"fndry-slideout-block__heading fndry-text-h3SectionHeadline26\">Katie N.
