Laura Hertel, PhD

Primary Thematic Area: 
Virology & Microbial Pathogenesis
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Immunology
Research Summary: 
We seek to identify the mechanisms and players supporting human cytomegalovirus transmission, spread and pathogenesis.

Justin Eyquem, PhD, MS, BS

Primary Thematic Area: 
Immunology
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Cancer Biology & Cell Signaling
Research Summary: 
We are designing synthetic receptors and editing the T cell’s genome to better understand T cells function within the tumor microenvironment and ultimately design safe and efficient adoptive T cell therapies

Chaz Langelier, MD, PhD

Primary Thematic Area: 
Virology & Microbial Pathogenesis
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Immunology
Research Summary: 
My lab utilizes genomic and proteomic technologies to study host/pathogen biology in the context of clinical outcomes, develop new diagnostics, and track outbreaks. Key Focus: Pneumonia (including COVID-19), ARDS, sepsis and emerging pathogen surveillance

Jill Hollenbach, PhD, MPH

Primary Thematic Area: 
Human Genetics
Secondary Thematic Area: 
Immunology
Research Summary: 
Our lab specializes in the analysis of highly polymorphic immunogenomic regions in the context of immune function, human health and disease, and evolutionary biology.
