Michael Chao

Research Scientist
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases

Michael is coordinating IMPAcTB, an international, multi-institution project that aims to identify and characterize mechanisms of host protection against tuberculosis across animal models and human patient cohorts.

Mike Chase

Mike Chase

Research Associate
Dipartment of Immunology and Infectious Diseases

Mike works with Bioinformatics, data munging, analysis of Next-Generation Sequence data, and proteomics data. Perl, R and shell scripting.

Peter Culviner

Postdoctoral Fellow
Immunology and Infectious Diseases

Peter researches high-throughput RNA-Sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains across various growth conditions to link genotype to phenotypic variation.

Patricia Grace

Patty Grace

Postdoctoral Fellow
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases

Patty is Postdoctoral Fellow who is working towards understanding the action of antibodies in natural TB infection. She is working to address whether human antibodies from different TB disease states can confer control of Mtb growth or protection in a mouse model ofĀ MtbĀ infection. Patty works in between the labs of Sarah Fortune at HSPH and Galit Alter at the Ragon Institute.

Forrest Hopkins

Forrest Hopkins

Research Assistant/Lab Manager
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases

Forrest defines the parameters that are expected to drive the rate of resistance observed clinically and establish a quantitative estimate of risk of the emergence of drug resistance in clinical use to Pretomanid and a larger panel of compounds in development.

Eddie Irvine

Graduate Student
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases

Eddie is interested in the role antibodies play during tuberculosis infection. He is taking biased and unbiased approaches to identify specific characteristics of the humoral immune response capable of modulating infection or disease.

Jake Rosenberg

Jake Rosenberg

Postdoctoral Fellow
Immunology and Infectious Diseases

Jake is an infectious disease physician at MGH and a postdoctoral fellow in the Fortune Lab studying how the immune response to tuberculosis can be harnessed to improve vaccines and therapies.

Jamie Sixsmith

Jamie Sixsmith

Senior Research Specialist
Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases

JamieĀ hopes to use his genetics training and varied lab experience to help the Fortune group to better understand the mechanisms behind Mtb infection and how these can be addressed.

Sidney Stanley
