Akiko Iwasaki, PhD | Investigator Profile | 2014-Present - HHMI
Akiko Iwasaki is interested in how immunity is initiated and maintained at mucosal surfaces – natural ports of entry for pathogens. Iwasaki and her team focus on understanding how viruses are recognized (innate immunity) and how that information is used to …
Daniel Mucida, PhD | Investigator Profile | 2021-Present - HHMI
Daniel Mucida studies the relationship between gut microbes, diet, and immunity. Mucida and his team investigate the mechanisms and processes involved in intestinal homeostasis and the consequences when such processes are compromised.
Jonathan Abraham, MD, PhD | Investigator Profile | 2024-Present
Jonathan Abraham studies how viruses infect cells and replicate their genomes. His lab uses molecular virology and structural biology methods to study how viral spike proteins bind to receptors when infecting cells, how neutralizing antibodies block viral infection, and – once viruses infect cells – how viral polymerases replicate and/or transcribe viral genomes.
Edward S. Boyden, PhD | Investigator Profile | 2020-Present - HHMI
Edward Boyden wants to unravel the complex network of the human brain – roughly 100,000 cells per cubic millimeter, connected by a billion synapses, each operating with millisecond precision – to understand the neuronal underpinnings of our thoughts and feelings.
