Michael Gerner

University of Washington

ASsociate Professor

Dr. Michael Gerner obtained his Ph.D. in Immunology in 2009 at the University of Minnesota, studying anti-tumor immune responses. He next completed his postdoc at the NIH, where he developed and employed cutting-edge quantitative imaging tools to study the organization of immune cells in lymphoid tissues. In 2015, Dr. Gerner joined the University of Washington, Department of Immunology as Assistant Professor. His lab investigates how local tissue microenvironments shape the generation of innate and adaptive immune responses during vaccination, infection and cancer. The laboratory also continues to develop advanced image analysis platforms. Current efforts utilize these microscopy tools to better understand correlates of vaccine-mediated protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in mice and across species.
