Dr. Justin Taylor is an immunologist who focuses his research on B cells, a type of white blood cell responsible for producing immune proteins called antibodies. Dr. Taylor received his BS from Rider University in 2002 and was introduced to immunological research during his time there. Dr. Taylor went on complete his PhD in Immunology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2008 studying T cell responses to parasitic helminth infections. As a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Minnesota beginning in 2009, Dr. Taylor built upon these experiences and developed research projects analyzing B cells. Dr. Taylor helped develop innovative strategies to find rare B cells specific for antigens of interest, work that led Dr. Taylor to start his own lab at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in 2014 with the goal of dissecting B cell responses in human infectious diseases and cancer. In parallel, Dr. Taylor’s lab has also developed a robust platform for engineering B cells to produce protective or therapeutic antibodies and is working to bring these approaches to the clinic to prevent or treat disease. Together, the Taylor lab has built a robust program for interrogating and modifying B cells with the goal of improving human health.
