bio
Dr. Lauren Jatt is an infectious diseases physician and scientist whose research examines how vaccines generate protective immunity and why vaccine responses differ across individuals and patient populations. She is an Acting Instructor at the University of Washington and a Research Associate at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.
Dr. Jatt combines clinical trial data, detailed immune profiling, and computational analysis to identify immune responses associated with protection following vaccination. Her work includes studies of malaria vaccines in controlled human infection trials and vaccine responses in immunocompromised patients. She has a particular interest in immune reconstitution after CAR T-cell therapy and the ability to develop new immune responses following therapies that target B cells. Her research aims to inform vaccine development and improve vaccination strategies for populations at increased risk of infection.
Her clinical interests include infectious diseases in immunocompromised patients and clinical immunology, with a focus on primary and secondary immunodeficiency. She is particularly interested in how underlying immune dysfunction shapes susceptibility to infection and responses to vaccination.
