“High-temporal resolution omics profiling applied to measuring mRNA vaccine responses.”
Background
Dr. Chaussabel is a principal scientist in the computational science department at the Jackson Laboratory. He earned his PhD from the University of Brussels in 1999, specializing in immunology. He pioneered the use of whole-genome transcriptional profiling tools to study host-pathogen interactions during his postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Before joining the Jackson Laboratory, Dr. Chaussabel established a genomics and bioinformatics program at the Baylor Institute for Immunology Research in Dallas, Texas. Subsequently, he served as the Head of the Systems Immunology Division at the Benaroya Research Institute in Seattle, Washington. There, he led research on the “genomic reprogramming” that occurs in the blood of patients with infectious and autoimmune diseases, as well as in response to vaccinations.
Dr. Chaussabel continued this line of research after joining Sidra Medicine in Qatar, where he helped develop the Systems Immunology and Translational Medicine programs from the ground up.
