معرفی
Dr. Adrianus (Ando) Van Der Velden is an Associate Professor at Stony Brook University in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, with research focused on Bacterial Pathogenesis, Host-Pathogen Interactions, and Immune Modulation. His work primarily investigates Salmonella infections and their immunological consequences.
- Education: PhD from Oregon Health and Science University (2000)
- Postdoctoral Training: Harvard Medical School
Research Interests:
- Host immune responses to Salmonella
- T cell suppression via asparagine catabolism
- Inflammatory monocyte roles in infection
- Microbiota's impact on pathogen colonization
- Mechanisms of Salmonella virulence
Publications highlight his work on Salmonella's manipulation of host immune cells, including studies on asparaginase-mediated T cell suppression, inflammatory monocyte dynamics, and granuloma formation during persistent infection.
Teaching & Mentorship: The lab hosts graduate rotation students and has funding for supported positions. He holds a tenured academic position since 2015.
Laboratory: Located at the Stony Brook Center for Infectious Diseases, exploring host-pathogen-microbiota interactions using molecular microbiology and immunology approaches.
