Scientific Organizers: Andrea Schietinger, Daniel Campbell, and Ansuman Satpathy
Andrea Schietinger, PhD
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Andrea Schietinger, PhD, is a Member in the Immunology Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine. Her work focuses on fundamental mechanisms that shape T cell responses in cancer, infection and autoimmunity, including molecular and epigenetic programs that regulate T cell function and dysfunction in tumors. Her research also has shown how T cells contribute to tissue destruction during autoimmunity, developing innovative T cell reprogramming approaches for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity. She has extensive experience in organizing scientific national and international conferences, including Keystone Symposia, Aegean Conferences, and the American Association of Immunologists conferences.
Daniel Campbell, PhD
Benaroya Research Institute
Daniel J. Campbell, Ph.D., is an immunologist who has defined key mechanisms of T cell differentiation, immune tolerance and tissue-specific immunity. He is a Member and Director of the Center for Fundamental Immunology at the Benaroya Research Institute and an Affiliate Professor of Immunology at the University of Washington. Dr. Campbell’s research has focused on key mechanisms of regulatory T cells, effector and memory T cell subsets, and tissue-resident T cells in autoimmunity, infection, and inflammation. His work integrates mouse and human immunology with advanced single-cell and systems approaches. He has organized scientific meetings, including service on the Council of the Midwinter Conference of Immunologists, international autoimmunity conferences, and the American Association of Immunologists Annual Meeting.
Ansuman Satpathy
Stanford University School of Medicine
Dr. Ansuman Satpathy, M.D., Ph.D., is a physician-scientist and Associate Professor of Pathology and Immunology at Stanford University. Dr. Satpathy’s research brings together immunology, high-throughput genomics, and computational biology to uncover the fundamental principles of immune function in health and disease. His laboratory focuses on translating these discoveries into innovative immunotherapies for cancer and other immune-mediated conditions. He serves as Director of the Stanford Center for Immunotherapy Design, Co-Director of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at Stanford and Co-Director of the Immunotherapy Program within the Stanford Cancer Institute.
