Biography
Dr. Sarah Andrews obtained a Ph.D. in immunology in 2008 at the University of Washington under Dr. David Rawlings. Her Ph.D. work focused on immune tolerance mechanisms and cell signaling pathways controlling B cell fate during B cell development. In 2009 she joined the laboratory of Dr. Patrick Wilson at the University of Chicago as a postdoctoral fellow to study human B cell response to influenza vaccination just as the 2009 pandemic H1N1 emerged. In 2014 she became a Staff Scientist at the Vaccine Research Center where she continued her work investigating B cell responses to vaccines. In 2024 she was named Chief of the B cell Immunobiology Section and Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator at the VRC.
