Tony Reder, MD, Professor of Neurology at the University of Chicago, helped develop interferon-β1b — the first FDA-approved biologic therapy for multiple sclerosis. His research uncovered subnormal IFN signaling in MS patients, providing the biological rationale for IFN-beta treatment, and his lab continues to unravel the striking dysregulation of gene [READ MORE]

I am Tim Nice, Associate Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, OR. I grew up in rural Wisconsin and like to think that my first training as a biologist came from working with my parents to raise sheep on our farm. I [READ MORE]

I am a translational cancer biologist with a long-standing interest in how interferon signaling and the innate immune system influence tumor behavior. My work focuses on the molecular mechanisms that allow cancer cells to evade immune surveillance, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic strategies. Over the years, my research [READ MORE]

I am Tsan Sam Xiao, a Professor of Pathology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Our research program focuses on mechanistic studies of innate immunity and inflammatory signaling, particularly the inflammasome pathways. Out of the lab, I consider myself an avid runner: I have run a few marathons [READ MORE]

My name is Gabrielle Belz, and I am currently a Professor, Laureate Fellow and Group Leader at the Frazer Institute, The University of Queensland, Australia. My research focuses on how different types of immune cells develop and generated long-term immune protection or memory, and now we have a major emphasis [READ MORE]

I am an associate professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey, and I’m on a mission to decode the conversation between CD4+ T cells and B cells. These T cells use cytokines as their messages, and I am particularly fascinated by the cytokines secreted by a subset of these T [READ MORE]

I´m a biologist by training and currently work as a senior researcher at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany. My research focuses on understanding how intracellular cytokine-induced signaling robustly encodes and transmits information, with a special focus on my favorite cytokine IL-6. Please tell us your name, degree, where [READ MORE]

I head the Immunoregulation research group at the Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried (Germany), and my group works on the complex intersection between immune regulation and metabolism. Out of the lab, I like cooking, and I spend a lot of time perfecting dishes. I also travel a lot, I love [READ MORE]

I run a laboratory at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark NJ USA. I study host-pathogen interactions as I find both microbiology and immunology interesting. So, we have projects on bacterial pathogenesis as well as innate pathways important for host defense as well trying to understand specific cells important [READ MORE]
