Lessons from Spatial. Also, do we really need Everything Everywhere at Once?

Sizun Jiang, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine 
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center 
Harvard Medical School

Sizun Jiang completed his Ph.D training at Harvard University, where he made significant strides in the field of host-pathogen chromatin interactions during viral-driven lymphomagenesis under the guidance of the late Prof. Elliott Kieff. His pursuit of knowledge then led him to Stanford University, where he worked with Prof. Garry Nolan to develop and apply groundbreaking spatial technologies to better understand biological systems.

Currently, as an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dr. Jiang's research stands at the forefront of innovation, focusing on the intersection of host-disease interactions through the development and application of novel spatial technology platforms and computational algorithms. His ongoing work delves into the intricacies of viral pathogenesis, tumor biology, and immune dysregulation. Dr. Jiang's contributions are evidenced by the accolades he has received. These include awards from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, HHMI, Gilead Research Scholar's Program, a NIAID New Innovators DP2 Award, a Sanofi iAward, and the Fields Prize in Microbiology and Immunology at Harvard Medical School.
