Milena Hasan
Milena Hasan has received her clinical chemist B.Sc from the Faculty of Pharmacy in Zagreb, Croatia. She studied development of B cells during her Masters and received her PhD in cell biology from the Faculty of Science, Zagreb, Croatia, for her work on mechanisms employed by MCMV to escape NK cell surveillance, completed in the group of Prof. Stipan Jonjic at the University of Rijeka. She obtained the habilitation to lead PhD students at the Faculty of Medicine, Rijeka, Croatia. As a postdoctoral EMBO at the Institut Pasteur, Paris she studied the NK cell development in mouse model in the group of Prof. James Di Santo. She earned her HDR from the Paris-Saclay University, France.
Attracted by translational research and application of cutting-edge technologies in biomedical sciences, Milena Hasan has joined the Center for Human Immunology at its creation in 2007, first as the head of the technology platform, and then as its director. Very motivated for teaching, Dr Hasan has established and the annual practical course for M2 students enrolled in the “Advanced Immunology Course” that she directs since 2015. In 2017, she has established the Single Cell Biomarkers Unit of Technology and Service (scBiomarkers UTechS) that she leads at the Institut Pasteur. Milena Hasan’s team supports biomedical research by employing state-of-the-art approaches for biomarker discovery and precision immunomonitoring, which include cell functional assays, cell phenotyping and sorting, protein profiling and single cell multi-omics.
