Roger Tieu

Roger Tieu is a researcher affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. He holds a PhD in Immunology and an MD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, alongside a BS in Biology and Chemistry from Emory University. His research focuses on understanding immune responses in transplantation and immunology, particularly the role of tissue-resident memory T cells and dendritic cells in allograft rejection. He has contributed to studies on persistent antigen exposure, T cell maintenance, and molecular mechanisms underlying immune rejection. His work spans translational immunology, with applications in organ transplantation and autoimmune diseases.

Education:

• PhD in Immunology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
• MD, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
• BS in Biology and Chemistry, Emory University

Research Interests: Immunology, transplantation biology, T cell biology, autoimmune mechanisms, and molecular immunology. His lab explores how immune cells like memory T cells and dendritic cells drive chronic rejection in transplanted organs, with implications for improving graft survival.
