Bosio Research Group

Dr. Bosio graduated from Washington State University cum laude with a B.Sc. in 1993, completed her Ph.D. at Colorado State University, and postdoctoral fellowships at the Food and Drug Administration Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases. She joined NIAID in 2007; her laboratory studies the host response to pulmonary pathogens.

Dr. Jessop primary interest is understanding how metabolic flux influences innate responses in the lung. Dr. Jessop utilizes a variety of infection models and both in vitro and in vivo models and techniques to characterize changes in metabolism after infection. Dr. Jessop’s goal is to use this information to design novel therapeutics for a wide variety of diseases.

Dr. Roberts primary interest in the development of T cell immunity in the lung. By using an array of comparative models Dr. Roberts is dissecting out the optimal metabolic milieu required to engender long lived T cell responses in the lung with the goal of development of improved vaccines.

Dr. Schwarz is the contact for the Immunometabolism Program housed within the IPPS.

Ms. Wehrly provides broad support across all projects in the laboratory. Ms. Wehrly also serves as lab manager for the IPPS.
