Biography
Dr Kryza completed his Bachelor degree in Cellular Biology and Physiology at Lille University in France where he went on to complete his Master's degree in Biology and Health under the supervision of Prof Hondermarck.
His Master's project involved an investigation of the secretome modications associated with the carcinogenesis of breast epithelial cells.
Dr Kryza later moved to Tours, where he undertook a PhD under Dr Si-tahar at François Rabelais University. Here he studied the involvement of kalikrein-related peptisase 12 in lung cancer associated microenvironments and neo-angiogenesis.
Following the successful completion of his PhD, Dr Kryza joined the APCRC-Q as a postdoctoral fellow in Distinguished Professor Judith Clements' group. His current project involves a study of the role of the kallikrein-related peptidase 4 in microenvironment modifications associated with prostate cancer.
