Research Overview

Dr. Ronald Mathieu primarily focuses on improving the flow cytometry research at the institution. He has worked with more than a thousand researchers since established the lab in 2008 on how to implement flow cytometry into their research. His teaching on fundamental flow cytometry, experiment design and data interpretation goes across institution. His passion for making sure every experiment works is the secret to his success. While his research interest focuses on understand the trick that cancer play on the innate immune system, he has work and collaborate with researcher from every department.

Research Background

Dr. Mathieu is a laboratory scientist at Boston Children’s Hospital and the director of the BCH-HSCI flow cytometry Facility. Before joining BCH, Dr. Mathieu was a flow cytometry application specialist at MIT, a Clinical Immunology scientist at Repromed and Medical Laboratory technician at North Medical Center.
