About us

Kate is an immunologist with over seven years of industry experience. Her work bridges fundamental immunology and preclinical drug development, with a focus on bringing innovative therapies to patients with immune-mediated disorders. She earned her PhD in Virology from Harvard University. She also holds an MS in Chemistry from UC San Diego and a BS in Microbial Biology from UC Berkeley.

Kevin is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Tufts Medical Center. Trained as an immunologist, he pivoted to computational microbiology during his postdoctoral training, and now works to make machine learning and quantitative techniques accessible to other scientists with projects in gut microbiome epidemiology and immunology. He studies how microbes in the guts of kids affect their brain development, and works with Matt to build software tools and run machine learning models to investigate the immune system.

Matt studies antibodies, the cells that make them, and the various factors that influence their development and targeting. By merging experimental approaches in both mouse and human systems, he investigates areas central to human health including critical care medicine, vaccination, and immune dysregulation/autoimmune development. Although primarily focused on B cells, his lab takes an intentionally broad and flexible approach to investigation, incorporating diverse experimental methodologies and analytical approaches to deeply understand the context of immune responses. Beyond the bench, Matt is passionate about communicating science out into the world, building trust between the scientific community and the public, and pushing towards effective policy around science that ultimately benefits us all.
