Ronald Germain
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, USA
Ronald Germain received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Harvard University, Boston,
Massachusetts, USA. Since then, he has investigated basic immunobiology,
first on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, Boston and then in the
Laboratory of Immunology at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA. Over the
years, he and his colleagues have contributed to our understanding of MHC
class II structure-function relationships, the cell biology of antigen
processing and the molecular basis of T-cell recognition. More recently, his
laboratory has helped pioneer live imaging of the immune system, the
development of new methods for quantitative modeling and simulation of
biological processes, and the application of high content analytic methods
to the study of immune function and infectious disease in animal models and
in humans.
