Joe received a BS in biomedical engineering with a minor in mathematics from the University of Miami in Florida. They are pursuing a PhD in molecular engineering with an emphasis on immunoengineering at the University of Chicago.
Joe's research interests lie at the intersection of engineering and immunology. They use protein engineering, in vitro and in vivo techniques to investigate immune modulation and develop novel strategies to induce peripheral immunological tolerance. Specifically, their research involves the design and synthesis of biomaterials that can modulate immune cell behavior and promote tolerance induction in preclinical models. Joe aims to translate their findings into practical solutions for patients with autoimmune diseases and other immune-mediated disorders.
