Biographie/Biography
Dr. Eva Kaufmann is an Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair Tier 2 in Immunology and Inflammation at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Dr. Kaufmann’s research is focused on trained immunity, an epigenetic memory mechanism in the innate immune system. Dr. Kaufmann discovered the long-term conservation of this reprogramming mechanism in long-lived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Her lab’s current research program investigates the role of trained immunity in allergic airway diseases using both murine and human model systems. Enhancing the understanding of allergic disease pathogeneses will ultimately improve its therapeutic and preventive targeting. Thereby, Dr. Kaufmann’s work bridges basic and clinical research, enabling translation in the emerging field of innate immune memory.
