Charline Miot, MD, PhD

Associate Professor, University of Angers, France

Charline is an Associate Professor in immunology at University of Angers where she conducts research on primary immunodeficiencies (PID) and childhood B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Charline works on research projects from patients’ bedside to bench. As a pediatrician, she takes care of children with PID and as a researcher she develops functional assays to identify new PID. Charline became interested in translational research early during her MD-PhD training and developed her technical and experimental skills during her time as post-doctoral researcher at CHOP. After her post-doctoral fellow, she initiated new research projects intersecting the fields of PID and childhood leukemia. Charline believes that dissecting molecular mechanisms in refractory diseases opens new insight in tailoring children’s treatment. Her MD and PhD background has been of critical help to build bridges between basic research and clinical practice. Charline is also in charge of the international relation office at the medical school of Angers. Charline earned her PhD in immunology and her MD in pediatrics from University of Angers. She then specialized in pediatric immunology and oncology.

About Me

I am mother and primary caregiver of a 9 months old toddler. I practice swimming and competed in international championships when I was a student.

My current position requires academic flexibility as I am managing between research, clinics and teaching.

I don't know much about US academic career as I never applied to a position in an American university, but I am familiar with French academic system.
