I completed my Ph.D. training at Harvard with Elliott Kieff, uncovering the complex host-pathogen chromatin interactions during viral-driven lymphomagenesis. I next moved west for some warmth and sunshine, where I worked with Garry Nolan at Stanford on technology development and ways to better interrogate biological systems. My current interests lie at the intersection of addressing critical questions in host-disease interactions, through the development and applications of novel spatial technology platforms and computational algorithms. Ongoing work includes the biology of viral pathogenesis, tumor biology, and immune dysregulation.

My doctoral thesis focused on solving the molecular mechanisms driving humoral immune evasion during human cytomegalovirus infection, with the aim of identifying viral targets for novel intervention and prevention strategies. Outside the lab, I enjoy interior designing and traveling.

I am Liao Guanrui, a visiting student at Jiang Laboratory. I am a Ph.D/M.D. student of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University (Guangzhou, China), majoring in liver surgery under supervision of Prof. Kuang Ming. I have been working on various researches concerning molecular mechanisms and tumor microenvironment of liver neoplasms since 2018. During my undergraduate course, I organized several activities as the president of the Student Union and took part in an exchange program in Hong Kong, China and Singapore. Personally, I have a wide range of hobbies and I am good at Chinese traditional hand-writing.

I am a biostatistician by training. Currently, my research interests are mostly in medical image analysis and machine learning methods. In my leisure time, I enjoy photography, cooking, badminton, and kendo.

Hello! My name is always mispronounced, and I am currently older than I look. I am pursuing a PhD in Virology at Harvard, where I spend too much time daydreaming and learning in the lab. I find viruses fascinating for their extraordinary capabilities despite being minuscule pieces of genetic material, and I admire the potential for highly multidisciplinary research. Outside of work, I enjoy playing the piano and gaming with my friends.

I started out studying microbiology and cancer biology in the lab before transitioning to more computational work and bioinformatics. I’ve always been a visual learner so I’m really excited by spatial technologies and where they can take biology research in the near future. Outside of the lab, I’m always looking for my next hiking trip and I’m also a big basketball fanatic.

I am passionate about advancing research that transforms healthcare and benefits mankind. Germinal centres and B cells are my first scientific loves, but I am keen on expanding my arsenal of scientific tools, so I can delve into diverse biological researchareas in the future. After long days at work, I recharge by reading a (non-scientific) book and enjoying a cup of tea. I also enjoy travelling, hiking, and singing.

I fell in love with bench work while spending summers with my dad while he was in a PhD program, and bench work is all I’ve wanted to do since. I attended Lewis & Clark college and got a BA in Biochemistry and Molecular biology and a few years later joined a histology core in Oregon. My interests lie in all things tissue (so long as it can’t talk back).

I was recruited to the CVVR in Feb 2023 to bring research histotechnology capabilities to the institute. I split my time between Sizun’s lab, Dan Barouch’s lab and running the Tissue Technologies Unit.

After finishing high school in Germany, I moved to Cambridge (UK) for my undergraduate and master’s degrees where I worked with Dr. Geoffrey Smith on SARS-CoV-2 innate immune evasion and Dr. Colin Crump on HSV-1 tegument proteins, respectively. I then moved to the US in 2022 and am currently a G2 graduate student in the Virology PhD Program. My previous rotations were with Dr. Ben Gewurz and Dr. Philip Kranzusch, after which I rotated in and then joined the Jiang lab. My primary research interests are host-pathogen interactions at the immunity interface as well as the development and implementation of novel spatial technologies.

I completed my doctoral training with Ben Gewurz at Harvard. Through transcriptomics and proteomics approaches, I constructed the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-B cell protein-protein interaction map, uncovering multiple mechanisms the virus employs to evade host intrinsic and innate immune pathways. Outside the lab, I enjoy photography and running.
