Member Highlights

I am a Physician Scientist specializing in Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Washington University in St. Louis. My lab focuses on the role of autophagy and cell death in macrophages in cytokine storm syndromes from infectious and sterile etiologies. I use the word “focus” liberally, as our work touches on diverse [READ MORE]

I’m a PhD candidate at Weill Cornell doing my dissertation research in Tobias Hohl’s lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. My PhD work has focused on the role of GM-CSF in defense against the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Some of the best advice I’ve ever received is that it’s [READ MORE]

My research focuses on understanding how cytokine signaling, particularly IL-6, influences disease progression and drug resistance. I’m in the process of setting up my lab at Kuwait University, where aim to study the differences between classical and trans-signaling pathways of IL-6, and how they activate cells in distinct ways. Ultimately, [READ MORE]

I’m an MD/PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Scientist Training Program, in the laboratory of Dr. Sarah Gaffen, and I’m studying the functions of RNA-binding proteins in T cells mediating inflammatory disease. Previously, I studied spinal cord regeneration in the axolotl salamander with Dr Karen Echeverri and how [READ MORE]

My lab is passionate about human interferons and especially type III interferons where there is still a lot to learn about! We are interested in how interferons regulate immune responses. However, when I’m not in the lab I like playing sports and hanging out with my family. Scientist should not [READ MORE]

As an RNA biologist-turned-immunologist, my lab studies the role of RNA processing in macrophage activation and antibacterial immunity. My lab is a vibrant, supportive and collaborative space that values diversity, creativity, and hard work. My name is Kristin Patrick, Ph.D. I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of [READ MORE]

My team investigates the impacts of interferon hyperactivity and immune dysregulation in Down syndrome. We are testing the hypothesis that immune dysregulation drives many of the clinical and developmental hallmarks of Down syndrome. There is now a vibrant community of immunologists studying Down syndrome, and I believe that attending the [READ MORE]

The following interview was conducted by Signals+ Editor Maialen Sebastian-delaCruz, Ph.D. Connect with her on LinkedIn. At BMS, I lead a translational research lab in Summit, NJ focused on immune regulation at mucosal sites. I create the translational research, precision medicine and biomarker plans for early-stage immunology assets approaching first-in-human and proof of [READ MORE]

The following interview was conducted by Signals+ Editor Maialen Sebastian-delaCruz, Ph.D. Connect with her on LinkedIn. My lab in Australia works on understanding how humoral memory is formed, and how this goes awry in chronic infection. I’m excited to be able to learn and make new collaborations from joining the Cytokine Society, so [READ MORE]

The following interview was conducted by Signals+ Editor Maialen Sebastian-delaCruz, Ph.D. Connect with her on LinkedIn. The best life/career advice I have ever received was, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.” In the Crow Lab, we are interested in human monogenic diseases associated with chronically enhanced production of type I interferons [READ MORE]
