Dr. Malgorzata Kloc completed her PhD in Poland on insect oogenesis, and worked as a tenured Assistant Professor at University of Warsaw. In 1981, she immigrated to Canada and received fellowship from Alberta Heritage Foundation at Calgary University, Alberta, where she studied the heat shock proteins in Xenopus oocytes, and later at Saint Mary's university in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and after that at Dalhousie University in Halifax where she received Terry Fox Foundation fellowship in molecular biology. In 1987, she moved to Houston, USA and worked at MD Anderson Cancer Center on Xenopus germ cell specification and development, and localized mRNA and cytoskeleton. She left MD Anderson in the rank of Associate Professor in 2007 and moved to Houston Methodist Hospital and Research Institute where she currently has a rank of Weill Cornell Professor of cell and molecular biology. At Methodist she studies the role of macrophages, cytoskeleton and RhoA pathway in development of chronic rejection of transplanted organs. See less
