Kate Fitzgerald, PhD
Professor, University of Massachusetts, Former Grantee
The Fitzgerald lab investigates the molecular mechanism controlling the innate immune response during infection and inflammation. They focus on therapeutic targeting of Inflammasomes and nucleic acid sensing pathways to treat inflammatory diseases.
Yaron Fuchs, PhD
Assistant Professor, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Former Grantee
The Fuchs lab seeks to understand how stem cells use the apoptotic machinery for their elimination and the effect this has on different aspects of stem cell biology and stem cell-dependent processes.
Wendy Garrett, MD, PhD
Professor, Harvard University, Current Grantee
The Garrett lab focuses on mucosal immunology and the gut microbiota. They study intestinal inflammation in colitis and the tumor microenviroment in colorectal cancer, with a specific focus on the gut microbiota and immune system.
Klaus Gerwert, PhD
Professor, Ruhr University Bochum, Former Grantee
Dr. Gerwert works in the field of protein science, aiming to detect neurodegenerative diseases at an early stage to prevent progression to symptomatic conditions.
Andrew Goodman, PhD
Professor, Yale University Microbial Sciences Institute, Former Grantee
The Goodman lab aims to dissect the mechanisms that commensal gut microbes use to compete, cooperate and antagonize each other in the gut and explore how microbiome variation impacts our response to pathogenic infection and medical drugs.
Zeynep Gümüs, PhD
Associate Professor, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Former Grantee
The Gumus lab develops and applies computational methods and collaborative tools to identify genetic biomarkers that drive disease. They seek to find new routes to analyze datasets utilizing the benefits of high-throughput (HT) technologies.
