Whitney Weber
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioWhitney is a postdoctoral scholar in the laboratory of Dr. Joelle Rosser at Stanford University investigating the impacts of climate change on arbovirus infection acquisition in a mother-child human cohort in Indonesia. She recently completed her PhD in 2024 focused in viral immunology in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Streblow at Oregon Health and Science University. She has 4+ years of experience focused in antibody-mediated immunity to emerging pathogenic alphaviruses. Her dissertation research focused on characterizing cross-reactive immunity in the context of alphavirus infection and vaccination in an effort to develop cross-protective alphavirus vaccines. Her post-bacc work included 2+ years of research experience in HIV immunology studying the mechanism of HIV cure and evaluating therapeutics in NHP. Her long-term research and career interests are rooted in studying the mechanisms of viral emergence, viral surveillance and seroprevalence in various hosts, identifying cross-reactive immune responses, and developing multivalent vaccine approaches for emerging viruses.
