Harry Karmouty-Quintana, PhD

Biography

I previously trained in Montreal, Quebec, at McGill University from 2006 to 2010, where I completed my first postdoc on airway smooth muscle remodeling in asthma. Prior to that, I lived in Basel, Switzerland, where I pursued my PhD on “Experimental Pulmonary Diseases assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging”, a joint venture with Novartis and King’s College London (UK), where I graduated in 2006. Having spent a lot of time in cold countries, I was happy to move to Houston in May 2010, where I started as a postdoc and was promoted to Research Assistant Professor in September 2012. Other than lung diseases, I am interested in ocean life; I have a saltwater aquarium at home, and I am a certified scuba diver! Originally from Barcelona, I may be hard to find if FC Barcelona is playing a Champions League game or against Real Madrid!
