	Assistant Professor Bebhinn Treanor is awarded a Canada Research Chair in Spatially-Resolved Biochemistry. Treanor’s research focuses on the biochemical processes that drive immune cell activation, specifically the role of B cells. These cells are targets of vaccination because they produce molecules called antibodies, which are important for the destruction of pathogens in the body. Treanor’s research aims to fundamentally understand immune response, how it’s regulated, and how it can be controlled to develop therapies for lymphomas and autoimmune diseases. Congratulations Bebhinn!			02.12.16
