Biography
Dr. Foulds received her M.S. in biotechnology in 1998 from Johns Hopkins University and her Ph.D. in cell and molecular biology in 2003 from the University of Pennsylvania. Her academic interests focused on immunology as well as molecular and microbiology. As a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Robert Seder’s laboratory at the VRC, Dr. Foulds investigated the role of IL-10 and IFNγ in regulating the generation of memory T cells following vaccination or infection of mice. Dr. Foulds became the assistant director of flow cytometry for the Immune Tolerance Network in 2008, where she managed three remote flow cytometry cores that acquired data for 15 clinical trials. She analyzed the flow cytometry data for quality control as well as for interpreting study results. Dr. Foulds was also responsible for designing flow cytometry panels and coordinating research and development projects performed at the flow cores. Dr. Foulds accepted the position of co-chief, NIC, in 2008.
