Kazuki Sato is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine. His research focuses on immune regulation, inflammation, and cancer biology with particular emphasis on the roles of immune receptors like DNAM-1 and TIGIT in tumor progression and regulatory T cell function. He has conducted studies on B cell biology, macrophage subpopulations, and the interplay between gut permeability and cardiovascular inflammation.
Education: PhD from University of Tsukuba (2017), MS (2013), BA (2011). His work has been supported by awards including the Overseas Research Fellowship and Daiichi Sankyo Foundation of Life Science grant. He leads research in the Su Lab, investigating immune mechanisms in chronic inflammation and cancer. Key contributions include identifying marginal reticular cells' role in germinal center apoptosis clearance and developing protocols for isolating follicular dendritic cells.
Research interests span immune checkpoint modulation, tumor immunology, and the gut-immune axis. His publications highlight translational insights into cytokine signaling pathways (e.g., IFN-γ, IL-6) and cellular interactions in inflammation-driven diseases.
