Antara Chakravarty
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Prof. Priscilla Yang since September 2021. I am interested in virus-induced changes in membrane lipid composition of infected cells and my research focuses on developing experimental systems to interrogate the impact of lipid composition on membrane-associated RNA virus replication, using hepatitis C virus and brome mosaic virus as model systems.
During my doctoral studies, under the supervision of Prof. ALN Rao at the University of California-Riverside, I investigated capsid dynamics in multipartite bromoviruses, a group of icosahedral, plant-pathogenic RNA viruses belonging to the alphavirus-like super-family. -
Maximilian Haist
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioDr. Haist is a clinician scientist who explores the tumor microenvironment of advanced skin cancer patients to identify predictive biomarkers and immunological signatures using single-cell multiplexing technologies. As a Ph.D. student, Dr. Haist investigated the role of tumor hypoxia and the adenosine system in patients with melanoma brain metastases treated with combined radiochemotherapy. Currently, Dr Haist is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Garry Nolan´s lab and comes with interest in multiplex technologies to analyze the organization of effective anti-tumor immune responses within the tumor microenvironment.

John Hickey
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in engineering and using tools which can capture the complex interactions of the immune system more holistically. Understanding the immune system at a systems level will be even more critical as we try to engineer it for therapy. This will enable unique innovations in therapies overcoming several challenges of current immunotherapies: (1) ineffective for a large subset of patients, (2) non-specific, causing immunocompromised or autoimmune states, (3) costly, (4) not well modeled or predicted by in vitro tests and animal models, and (5) treat symptoms rather than cure disease.

Elena Monti
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioMy research during my PhD focused on the human neuromuscular system adaptations in response to overloading (training), unloading, aging and disease (specifically, cancer cachexia).
To date, during my postdoc, I am working on the effects of the enzyme 15-PGDH on the neuromuscular system health/connection in young and aged animals. -

Yuqi Tan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Microbiology and Immunology
BioDr. Tan is a computational biologist who develops computational tools to quantitatively assess cell identity, improve stem cell engineering, and understand cancer heterogeneity. As a Ph.D. student, Dr. Tan routinely performs computational and quantitative analysis on scRNA-seq data, which has resulted in several publications. Currently, at her postdoctoral position, Dr. Tan integrated single-cell omics with multiplexed image data to understand high dimensional tissue architecture in cancer. Dr.Tan's long-term aims are to integrate multi-omics to understand how different cell types and their interactions contribute to development and disease.
