William Serkin

William graduated from Northeastern University with a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology and undergraduate training in multiple academic and industry labs. With a special interest in translational science, he joined the immunology team at eGenesis, Inc. after graduation in 2020. There, he contributed to the company’s work pioneering xenotransplantation, or the use of pig organs to solve the human organ shortage. His work focused primarily on understanding antibody mediated rejection and broad B cell responses in nonhuman primate xeno-kidney recipients.

As an NIH OxCam scholar, William will continue studying how coordinated cellular interactions drive adaptive immune responses. Mentored by Dr. Ronald Germain (NIAID) and Dr. Isabela Pedroza-Pacheco at the Centre for Immuno-Oncology at Oxford, William will apply multiplexed 3D imaging and systems biology approaches to understand how the formation and organization of tertiary lymphoid structures affect anti-tumor immunity.
