Janet Chang

Janet Chang is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Inflammatory Disease, Monash Health (affiliated with Monash University). Her work focuses on immunological mechanisms underlying inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, with particular emphasis on kidney diseases and gastrointestinal disorders.

Research Interests:
Her investigations span:

• Regulatory T cell therapies for autoimmune disorders
• Immunopeptidomics and HLA research
• Epithelial immune responses in colitis
• Heterologous immunity between viruses and bacteria
• Lupus nephritis pathogenesis

Publication Trends:
Her recent articles (2022-2025) demonstrate a focus on translational immunology, combining experimental models of autoimmune diseases with clinical applications. Key themes include therapeutic T cell engineering, interferon signaling in mucosal inflammation, and cross-pathogen immunity.

Collaborations:
She frequently collaborates with researchers including Ooi J.D., Eggenhuizen P.J., and international teams, evidenced by multi-author publications in high-impact journals like Nature Communications and Kidney International.
