Anjali Jacob Panicker

Anjali Jacob Panicker is a Research Fellow in Neurology at Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the O'Connor Lab. She specializes in translational immunology, focusing on autoimmune disease mechanisms, non-HLA antibody roles in transplant rejection, and regulatory T cell biology. Her work integrates proteomic techniques to identify antigenic targets in immunological disorders.

Education:

• PhD in Immunology, Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
• MS in Medical Biotechnology, University of Illinois Chicago
• BE in Biotechnology Engineering, University of Mumbai

Research: Panicker's research bridges immunology and clinical translation. Key areas include:

• Non-HLA antibody profiling in heart transplantation
• Regulatory T cell activation via tolerogenic adjuvants
• Immunoproteomic pipelines for antigen identification
• Mental health challenges in biomedical trainees

Collaborations: Regular co-authorship with Prof. Kevin O'Connor on autoimmune mechanisms and Prof. Laura Griffiths on transplant immunology. Active in interdisciplinary teams addressing translational biomedical challenges.

Publications: Recent work highlights immunological mechanisms in autoimmunity, antigen discovery in transplant rejection, and mental health in academia. Over 9 peer-reviewed articles since 2020, emphasizing clinical and proteomic innovations.
