معرفی
Jessica Runting is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Monash University. Her research is focused on the molecular and epigenetic regulation of immune cells, particularly CD4+ T cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and follicular helper T cells (Tfh), with implications for inflammatory and infectious diseases.
Her research interests span immunology, molecular biology, and epigenetics, with a strong emphasis on understanding how key regulators such as DOT1L and c-Rel control immune cell function and lineage integrity. Her work investigates cytokine signaling pathways including IL-33 and IL-37, and their roles in type 2 immunity, allergic responses, and kidney disease.
The recent publication trends highlight a consistent focus on immune regulation through epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms, particularly in the context of infection, inflammation, and autoimmune conditions. Her articles frequently appear in high-impact immunology journals such as Frontiers in Immunology, Kidney International, and Cell Reports, indicating strong recognition in the field.
Jessica Runting actively collaborates with prominent immunologists including C. Zaph, S. Scheer, and D. Thiele. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. She has co-authored multiple peer-reviewed research articles and a review, with several picked up by news outlets and widely shared on academic and social platforms.
She is involved in advising and collaborative research, as evidenced by her frequent co-authorship in leading roles. While no specific grants are listed, her publication record suggests active funding support. She is part of a dynamic research network studying immune regulation in disease models.
