Jason Cyster is a Professor at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) whose research focuses on intercellular communication and cell migration dynamics in anti-pathogen and anti-tumor immune responses. His lab is renowned for defining lymphoid microenvironment organization to support adaptive immunity, including the discovery of lymphoid tissue chemokines and the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate in immune cell egress.
- Biochemistry: University of Western Australia (1988)
- Immunology: University of Oxford (1992)
- Postdoctoral Fellowship: Stanford University Medical Center (1992-1995)
His work combines immunological, genetic, biochemical, and intravital imaging techniques to study chemokine signaling, immune cell trafficking, and niche formation in lymphoid organs. Recent studies explore cancer immunology, GPCR function, and neuroimmune interactions in tissue regeneration.
Publications span lymphoid microenvironment regulation, chemokine signaling, and translational studies in diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Techniques include high-resolution intravital imaging and mechanistic mouse modeling.
- Beazley Award (1984)
- J.A. Wood Memorial Prize (1988)
- Commonwealth Overseas Studentship (1989-1992)
- Cancer Research Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship (1996-2000)
- Pew Scholar in Biomedical Sciences (1997)
- AAAS Fellow (2013)
- American Academy of Arts and Sciences
His research has secured continuous NIH funding since 1988, including R01 grants for lymphoid tissue organization, B cell migration, and predoctoral training programs. Collaborations span immunology, cancer biology, and systems biology.
