As the Executive Director of Research Initiatives and the Massachusetts Consortium on Pathogen Readiness (MassCPR), Nadine works with scientists, clinicians, and public health leaders to shape strategies for pandemic preparedness and response.
Before joining Harvard, she led research at the Broad Institute’s Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research, focusing on the functional interpretation of genes linked to complex disorders. She previously worked on the human gut microbiome in the Xavier Lab, where she discovered a family of biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease.
Her earlier research included work on antimicrobial resistance as a visiting scientist in the Salas Laboratory at the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa in Spain, where she studied inhibitors of mutagenic DNA repair. Nadine holds a Ph.D. in bioengineering from the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium and completed postdoctoral training at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland.
