Anna Gil

Anna Gil, an Instructor in the Department of Pathology at UMass Chan Medical School, is affiliated with the T.H. Chan School of Medicine. She holds a Master's in Immunology from the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland, and a PhD in Virology from the National Veterinary Research Institute in Pulawy, Poland.

Her research focuses on T-cell responses in viral infections, including Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), influenza, and their implications in diseases like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long COVID. Key areas include T-cell receptor repertoire dynamics, cross-reactivity between pathogens, and vaccine strategies to enhance immune protection. Recent work highlights CD8 T-cell dysfunction in ME/CFS and the potential of antioxidant therapies.

Collaborations with Liisa Selin and others have produced over a dozen peer-reviewed publications since 2013. Her studies integrate molecular biology, immunopathology, and translational research, addressing topics like T-cell education, aging-related immune changes, and structural biology of T-cell epitopes.

No scientific awards are listed, but her research contributions span virology, immunology, and vaccinology. Grant details and advising activities are not explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
