Project Title: Exploring Metabolic Governance of Immune Cell Form and Function
Award Year: 2023
Biography
Dr. Daniel Puleston obtained his Ph.D. in Immunology at Oxford University under Katja Simon studying mechanisms of memory T cell formation before post-doctoral training in the lab of Erika Pearce at the Max Planck Institute of Immunology in Freiburg, Germany. There, supported by a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship and EMBO long-term fellowship, Dan elucidated new mechanisms as to how cellular metabolism supports macrophage and T cell function. Dan’s laboratory at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai investigates how immunity and tumor growth is fueled, employing cutting-edge approaches to explore the metabolism of cells within the tissues of both animals and humans.
