Background
Alison Gareau, Ph.D., completed her B.Sc. in biology at Lake Superior State University in Michigan. She began her graduate studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where her thesis work in the Department of Pathology focused on the role of B cells and antibody in an experimental model of late cardiac graft rejection. She received a scholarship from the International Society of Heart & Lung Transplantation to establish a collaboration in the Department of Molecular Pathology at the University Medical Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This work focused on investigating the pathology of lymphoid structures found surrounding the coronary arteries of explanted cardiac grafts. She completed post-doctoral fellowships at the University of Manitoba under the guidance of Dr. Peter Nickerson and at Alberta Precision Laboratories in the Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Laboratory. Dr. Gareau joined the faculty in the Johns Hopkins Immunogenetics Laboratory on September 1, 2020. In addition to clinical service, she is enthusiastic about future contributions to the field of transplant immunology research, with particular interest in the role of de novo donor-specific antibody in graft rejection.
Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
