About
Sai Reddy is an Associate Professor of Systems and Synthetic Immunology at ETH Zurich's Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) in Basel, Switzerland, where he leads the Laboratory for Systems and Synthetic Immunology. Since September 2018, he has served as Vice Director of the Botnar Research Centre for Child Health (BRCCH), driving child health innovation through interdisciplinary research.
Education:
- Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Engineering) from Northwestern University (2003)
- Master of Science (Biomedical Engineering) from Northwestern University (2004)
- Ph.D. (Bioengineering and Biotechnology) from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) (2008), supervised by Prof. Melody Swartz and Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell
- Post-doctoral fellowship under Prof. George Georgiou at the University of Texas, Austin (2008)
His research pioneers the integration of computational modeling and cellular engineering to decode immune complexity. Systems Immunology employs quantitative measurements and machine learning to analyze adaptive immunity through antibody repertoire sequencing, while Synthetic Immunology reprograms immune cells via molecular engineering for cellular immunotherapy and directed evolution applications. Both fields converge on immunogenome manipulation to advance therapeutic design.
Scientific Awards:
- KPMG tomorrow’s market award (2007) for nanoparticle vaccine technology
As principal investigator, Prof. Reddy mentors graduate researchers in his laboratory; no specific advisees or grant awards are detailed in the text. His leadership at BRCCH amplifies translational impact on child health, though operational grant mechanisms remain undisclosed. The Laboratory for Systems and Synthetic Immunology operates from ETH Zurich's Basel campus at Klingelbergstrasse 48, Switzerland, focusing on high-throughput sequencing and synthetic biology methods to engineer immune responses.
