Rate My Professor Dominique French

Dr. Dominique French serves as the Research and Operations Manager in the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences at Queen's University Belfast. She holds this position within the Precision Medicine Centre of Excellence (PMC), where she also manages operations for the Tissue Hybridization and Digital Pathology group. Her affiliation extends to The Johnston Cancer Research Centre, and she is located in room 01.010 of the Future Medicines Institute. Contactable at +44 (0)28 9097 2709, Dr. French contributes to advancing precision medicine through expertise in digital pathology and biomarker analysis. She completed her Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences in 2013 and holds a degree in Biomedical Science from Queen's University Belfast, awarded in 2012.

Dr. French's research output includes significant contributions to computational pathology and spatial biology. In 2024, she co-authored the article 'True-T - improving T-cell response quantification with holistic artificial intelligence based prediction in immunohistochemistry images,' published in Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, volume 23, pages 174-185. The paper, led by Y. Makhlouf and including co-authors V. K. Singh, S. Craig, A. McArdle, M. B. Loughrey, N. Oliver, J. B. Acevedo, P. O'Reilly, J. A. James, P. Maxwell, and M. Salto-Tellez, addresses T-cell response quantification using AI in immunohistochemistry images. It has garnered 7 citations on Scopus and 61 downloads on the Queen's University Belfast Pure portal, and is available open access. Additionally, in 2022, she contributed to the peer-reviewed poster 'Maximising development of high quality, high throughput, multiplex immunofluorescence assays for in situ biomarker quantification and spatial biology analysis in large population based studies,' co-authored with A. McArdle, P. B. Loughrey, S. Craig, F. Corr, K. McCombe, M. Salto-Tellez, P. Maxwell, and J. James. Dr. French has also served as a supervisor for student theses, including that of A. McArdle on multiplex immunofluorescence assays. Her work supports high-throughput techniques for cancer research and population-based studies at the PMC.
