Immunologic studies of human B cells in HIV and other infectious and non-infectious diseases.
Susan Moir, Ph.D.
Chief, B-Cell Immunology Section
Education:
Ph.D., 1996, University Laval, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
Dr. Moir received her Ph.D. in immunology and microbiology from the University Laval, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, in 1996. Her Ph.D. studies were supported by a scholarship from the National Health Research and Development Program of Canada. In 1996, Dr. Moir came to the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation (LIR) as a Visiting Fellow. Dr. Moir was appointed to the position of Staff Scientist in...
Rebecca J. Baxter, B.S.
Postbaccalaureate Fellow, Intramural Research Training Awards Program
Education:
B.S. Johns Hopkins University
Rebecca uses flow cytometry and other molecular biology techniques to investigate the properties of B cells during HIV infection and treatment.
Clarisa M. Buckner, Ph.D.
Biologist
Education:
Ph.D., Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Yeshiva University, Bronx, NY
Dr. Buckner uses novel technologies that combine confocal microscopy and flow cytometry to study B cells as well as other populations in lymphoid tissue sections of people living with HIV. Dr. Buckner is also investigating spatially and transcriptionally differences in individuals that do and do not develop broadly neutralizing antibodies during HIV infection using 10X Genomics technologies. She...
Junseok Jang, B.S.
Postbaccalaureate Fellow, Intramural Research Training Awards Program
Education:
B.S. University of Texas at Dallas
Junseok uses functional assays and bioinformatics to investigate B cells in people with HIV.
Lela Kardava, Ph.D.
Staff Scientist, B-Cell Immunology Section
Education:
Ph.D., Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia
Wei Wang, M.S.
Biologist
Education:
M.S., Fisk University, Nashville, TN

Xiaozhen Zhang, M.S.
Biologist
Education:
M.S., University of California – Irvine at Irvine, CA
Languages Spoken: Mandarin
Xiaozhen Zhang is currently focused on investigating the molecular aspects of B cell receptor repertoires during HIV infection using single B cell cloning technology, BCR bulk sequencing, and 10x genomics technology. She also performs neutralization, binding, and competition assays to elucidate the mechanisms of neutralization activities of anti-HIV antibodies.
