James Murphy, PhD
Associate Professor, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Former Grantee
The Murphy lab is focused on understanding how proteins within cells, specifically those involved in cell signaling, interact and how genetic mutations that perturb these interactions can cause disease.

Shruti Naik, PhD
Associate Professor, Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai, Former Grantee
The Naik Lab studies immunity in epithelial tissues to understand how environmental stimuli and genetic factors influence health and drive disease. Their work centers on host-microbe interactions, immune-tissue crosstalk, inflammatory memory and translational research.

Markus Neurath, PhD
Doctor, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Former Grantee
Dr. Neurath studies the immunologic and molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and gastrointestinal cancer to create new therapeutic options for patients.

Timothy Nice, PhD
Associate Professor, Oregon Health & Science University, Former Grantee
The Nice lab studies the biology of the intestinal innate immune cells and cytokines—how they promote intestinal health and resistance to infection. They seek to understand how immune pathways function and become dysfunctional in disease states.

Roni Nowarski, PhD
Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Current Grantee
The Nowarski lab studies what makes or breaks tissue inflammation with a focus on cytokine signaling, immunometabolism and innate immune memory.

Jose Ordovas-Montanes, PhD
Assistant Professor, Boston Children's Hospital, Current Grantee
Dr. Ordovas-Montanes’ lab uses a variety of techniques to answer pressing questions such as which cellular compartments harbor memories of inflammation in tissue, and how might we develop effective mechanisms by which to promote or erase them?
