Research profileI am an immunologist, and I measure what the immune system does after an intervention. During my doctoral training I worked in a laboratory that ran preclinical islet transplantation in non-human primates, and eight of my publications come from that work, on the systemic side of immunosuppression. At PB Immune Therapeutics I led an immune-regulatory antibody program, built the in-house single-cell and spatial analysis capability, and designed and ran EAE studies in cynomolgus monkeys and marmosets. In transplantation the question I have worked on is how narrow the suppression can be and still keep the graft. Materials and drug delivery would be new to me.

Position-Relevant Expertise

  • Immunosuppression for transplantation. Co-author on non-human-primate islet transplantation studies of anti-CD40 (2C10R4) regimens, of a JAK inhibitor used in place of tacrolimus, and of IL-6 blockade. Co-first author on long-term diabetes control with a tofacitinib-based regimen in rhesus monkeys, and a co-inventor on a humanized anti-CD40 antibody patent from 2024.
  • Immune readout after an intervention. High-dimensional flow cytometry with panels up to 24 markers, designed in house; 10-color six-way sorting; Olink targeted plasma proteomics on the immune and neurology panels; longitudinal immune monitoring so the compartment is read over time rather than at a single endpoint.
  • Neuroinflammation, measured end to end. Whole-brain immune cell isolation through to single-cell analysis run myself: enzymatic digestion, Percoll gradient, FACS, 10x, and the analysis. Ten immune populations from 11,587 cells in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model, with exhausted CD8⁺ tissue-resident memory T cells interacting with choroid-plexus epithelium at the blood–CSF barrier.
  • Single-cell and spatial analysis at scale. scRNA-seq, scTCR-seq, snATAC-seq, GeoMx DSP and Visium, at the bench and in code. Cell subsets decomposed at 251,055-cell scale with consensus NMF, cohorts integrated across more than 700 donors, 8 organs and 23 immune diseases, and the result checked with held-out AUC and calibration.
  • Studies that arrive in cohorts. Reference material in every collection round and batch written into the model as a variable. In nested designs I test at the level of the donor or the animal rather than the cell, and the same arithmetic applies when a study has six animals per arm.
  • Program execution and grant writing. External studies designed and placed, assay conditions specified to the vendor, milestones tracked and advancement decided against fixed dates. About $1.3 million across five industry proposals, lead writer on four, always under the institutional PI and not as PI. K99/R00 and LSRF are open to me, and I would apply within the first two years.
