Speaker information

Taras obtained his PhD from and did a short postdoc in the laboratory of Harald von Boehmer at the Dana-Farber Cancer Research Institute at Harvard University working on alpha-beta versus gamma-delta T cell lineage choice, transcriptional regulation of innate-like T cells and, as a member of the Immunological Genome Project (Immgen) consortium, transcriptional regulation of T cell development. He then undertook a postdoc in the laboratory of Meinrad Busslinger (IMP, Vienna) where he worked on transcriptional regulation of humoral immunity. He joined the Karolinska Institutet as an assistant professor and started his lab at the Department of Medicine, Solna in 2018.
