Luis G. Hidalgo BSc, PhD

Dr. Hidalgo pursued his Ph.D. in Immunology at the University of Alberta which he completed in 2005. His graduate studies focused on understanding the role of IFN-gamma in the generation of effector T cells in alloimmune responses. Following his Ph.D., Luis led the transplantation immunology focus at the Alberta Transplant and Applied Genomics Centre where he initially defined similarities and differences in transcript expression between human CD4+ effector T cells and CD8+ effector T cells and natural killer cells and the interpretation of these transcripts in renal transplant biopsies.
