Prabhu S. Arunachalam, PhD
Prabhu Arunachalam received his Ph.D. in India and subsequently trained with Prof. Bali Pulendran at Stanford University. Prabhu’s research at the intersection of immunology and vaccinology has defined cooperative immune mechanisms by which the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system synergize to induce durable protection against HIV and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Anthony Bosco
I was born in 1978 and raised near Fremantle, Western Australia. I completed my BSc (Hons) in Biotechnology at Murdoch University in 2000. I then worked as a research assistant in Patrick G Holt’s laboratory at the Telethon Kids Institute for 1.5 years, before enrolling in a PhD program in the Holt lab to study immunology and genomics. I was awarded my PhD in 2007 from the University of Western Australia.
Michael D. L. Johnson, PhD
Michael D. L. Johnson received his bachelors from Duke University. He obtained a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Biophysics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he studied the effects of calcium on bacterial motility and attachment under the mentorship of Matthew Redinbo. For his postdoctoral training, Michael Johnson went to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in order to work with Jason Rosch on metal homeostasis of Streptococcus pneumoniae and subsequently with Douglas Green on the mechanisms of LC3-associated phagocytosis.

Nafees Ahmad, PhD
Dr. Nafees Ahmad received his BS (Hons) in Chemistry and MS in Biochemistry from one of the prestigious central universities in India, The Aligarh Muslim University. He then joined another renowned research institute, The Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, India, from where he earned his Ph.D. in 1983. Dr. Ahmad did his Postdoctoral Fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, Maryland, USA from 1985-1990 in the Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Deepta Bhattacharya, PhD
Deepta Bhattacharya received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, studying the role of the NF-kB transcription factor in survival and B cell class switching. For his postdoctoral fellowship, he trained at Stanford University, studying the cell biology of hematopoietic stem cells and their differentiated progeny. In 2008, he began his own lab at Washington University in St. Louis, first as an Assistant Professor and then as a tenured Associate Professor. Dr.
Janko Ž. Nikolich, MD, PhD
Dr. Nikolich is internationally recognized as a leading immunologist and gerontologist. He received his M.D., MSc and Ph.D. in Immunology from Belgrade University School of Medicine. From 1987 to 1990, he worked as a Research Associate at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in the laboratory of Dr. Michael J. Bevan, FRS, NAS, HHMI. In 1990, he joined the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York as the Head of both the Flow Cytometry Core Facility and the Laboratory of T Cell Development, first as Assistant and then Associate Member.
Kristian Doyle, PhD
Kristian Doyle earned his PhD from Oregon Health & Science University in 2007 developing novel therapeutics for stroke in the laboratory of Dr Mary Stenzel-Poore. Dr Doyle then trained as a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University under the mentorship of Dr Marion Buckwalter researching the role of TGFbeta signaling after stroke and developing a model of post stroke dementia. Dr Doyle started as an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona in 2013.
