Research Interests

Dr. Sharon Oldford is an immunologist who works with Dr. Barrett to coordinate SAIL’s basic science research projects.

Dr. Oldford obtained her PhD in 2007 from Memorial University, NL. Her doctoral work investigated the prognostic significance of immune markers in breast cancer. She completed her post-doctoral training at Dalhousie University, where she studied innate immune-based cancer therapeutics and human mast cell responses to immune mediators and viral infection.

Her current research interests include investigating the effects of chronic viral infection on immune phenotype and functional changes and experimental models of immunologic aging.
