Dr. Nicholas van Panhuys completed his BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cell and Developmental Biology at Victoria University (New Zealand). Following this, he completed the Honors program in Molecular Biosciences at Victoria University before being awarded the Rex and Betty Coker Post Graduate Scholarship to conduct his PhD studies at the Malaghan Institute for Medical Research (New Zealand), where he investigated the role of IL4 and STAT6 in protective immunity and T helper 2 immune responses. He was then awarded a NZ Foundation for Research Science and Technology post-doctoral fellowship award to work as a visiting fellow at the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, USA) in the Laboratory of Immunology with Dr. Ronald Germain. Consequently, he was appointed a research fellow in the Laboratory of Systems Biology at the NIAD, NIH. Since 2015, he has led the Laboratory of Immunoregulation at Sidra Medicine.
