معرفی
Jan Petersen is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Monash University, within the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. His research is centered on molecular and cellular immunology, particularly focusing on T-cell responses to viral and bacterial pathogens.
His research interests span Immunology, Infectious Diseases, T-cell Immunity, Immunopeptidomics, HLA Biology, and Viral Epitopes. His work explores how the immune system recognizes conserved epitopes in pathogens such as influenza B virus and SARS-CoV-2, as well as bacterial toxins like cholesterol-dependent cytolysins.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in understanding immune responses across diverse populations, including First Nations peoples, and the role of genetic polymorphisms in immune receptors like KIR3DL3. His research combines structural biology, immunogenetics, and clinical immunology to uncover mechanisms of broad-spectrum immunity.
Jan Petersen has no listed scientific awards in the provided text.
He collaborates extensively with leading immunologists including James Rossjohn, Anthony W. Purcell, and Katherine Kedzierska. While no direct mention of student supervision or grants is made, his active publication record in top-tier journals suggests involvement in major research initiatives and team-based science.
He is part of a dynamic research network at Monash University focused on infectious disease immunity, antigen presentation, and immune modulation in both viral and bacterial contexts.
