Jordan Pober

Jordan Pober is the Bayer Professor of Translational Medicine and Professor of Immunobiology, Pathology, and Dermatology at Yale School of Medicine. He serves as Director of the Human and Translational Immunology Program and Vice-Chair of the Department of Immunobiology for the Section of Human and Translational Immunology. Dr. Pober earned his AB from Haverford College (1971) and MD/PhD from Yale University (1977), followed by residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University.

His research focuses on vascular endothelial cell functions in inflammatory/immune responses and their impact on vascular health, with applications in organ replacement therapy and tissue engineering. Key areas include:

• T lymphocyte recognition of vascular antigens
• Cytokine signaling pathways in endothelial cells
• Transcriptional regulation of adhesion molecules
• Endothelial cell injury/resistance mechanisms

His recent publications demonstrate strong focus on transplantation immunology, vascular tissue engineering, endothelial cell signaling, and nanomedicine applications in vascular targeting. Award highlights include:

• Rous-Whipple Award (2011)
• Basic Science Established Investigator Award (2018)
• Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (2023)
• Bohmfalk Teaching Prize (2019)

Dr. Pober directs multiple research programs including the Vascular Biology and Transplantation Program and co-directs the Joint Yale-Cambridge University Biomedical Research Program. He maintains active collaborations across vascular biology, immunology, and tissue engineering disciplines.
