Scott Kitchen, Ph.D.

Associate Professor


Biography:

Dr. Scott Kitchen’s research interests are focused on investigating the effects of viral infection, as well as other cellular abnormalities, on human hematopoiesis and on exploring ways to correct defects that exist in immunity to viral and cellular antigens. Kitchen’s laboratory is focused in understanding the mechanisms that limit the immune systems’ ability to clear infection or cancer and in developing ways that augment these responses. They are interested in developing gene therapy-based approaches to engineer human hematopoietic stem cells to reconstitute and/or enhance immune responses following their development into mature cells that specifically target HIV infection as well as other viral and cellular antigens. He has a long standing interest in the development of humanized mouse models that allow the characterization of human hematopoiesis and engineered immunity in a surrogate in vivo host.

Research Interest:

Immunology, Virology, Malignancy

 

Dr. Kitchen’s research interests are focused on investigating the mechanisms that limit the human immune systems’ ability to clear chronic infections or malignancies and in developing ways that augment and enhance these responses.  He is interested in the development of models that allow the characterization of human hematopoiesis and gene therapy based engineered immunity in vivo.
