JulieMazet Ludwig Cancer Research - Lausanne Branch - University of Lausanne Switzerland

Dr. Julie M. Mazet is a postdoctoral research fellow specializing in cancer immunology in Prof. Johanna Joyce’s lab at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. She obtained her PhD in Molecular and Cellular Medicine from the University of Oxford, UK, in 2023, where her research focused on the role of interferon-gamma (IFNγ) in CD8+ T cells during antitumor responses. She uncovered an IFNγ-driven negative feedback loop that restricts the maintenance of stem-like CD8+ T cells within melanoma tumors, ultimately limiting antitumor potential. This work provided new insights into key complex mechanisms governing immune cell dynamics in the tumor microenvironment. Dr. Mazet has been recognized with several awards, including the Kennedy Trust Prize Studentship, the British Society of Immunology Congress Travel Grant, and prizes for the best talk and poster presentation during different symposiums. In her postdoc at the Ludwig Cancer Research Lausanne Branch, she focuses her research on understanding the (dys)function of CD8+ T cells in brain metastasis.
