Dr. Barbara Rehermann is Chief of the Immunology Section, Liver Diseases Branch, NIDDK at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. She received an M.D. degree and the Venia Legendi for Immunology from Medizinische Hochschule, Hannover, Germany, and pursued clinical training in the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endocrinology at the same university, and postdoctoral research at The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, USA.

Dr. Rehermann’s research focusses on the immunological factors that contribute to inflammatory diseases such as viral hepatitis and the regulation of immune responses and metabolism by the microbiome. This includes translational immunology studies with well-characterized patient cohorts, animal models such as laboratory mice with wild mouse microbiota and in vitro studies.

Dr. Rehermann is an elected fellow of German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Society for Microbiology and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, and a member of the American Association of Immunologists.  She currently serves as associate editor of Journal of Hepatology, consulting editor of Journal of Clinical Investigation and editorial board member of tJournal of Infectious Diseases and Journal of Virology. Her work was honored with national and international awards including the Pettenkofer Award, the Loeffler-Frosch Award of the German Society for Virology, and NIH Bench-to-Bedside, Salzman awards and Director awards. She has trained more than 60 postdoctoral fellows and students, most of whom now hold academic positions in the US, Asia and Europe.
