Teak-Jung (TJ) Oh, Ph.D.
ITI Postdoctoral Fellow
University of Washington - Dept. of Immunology
Dr. Oh earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with mentor Dr. Kai Zhang by engineering light-activatable systems to understand the necroptosis pathway. As a postdoc in Dr. Andrew Oberst’s lab in UW Immunology, Dr. Oh aims to define how cytokine signaling and lytic cell death shape type 1 and type 2 immune responses. As an ITI Fellow, Dr. Oh hopes to translate mechanistic insights into new approaches to control airway inflammation and improve respiratory health through collaborations with Dr. Mark Headley at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Dr. Teal Hallstrand at UW Medicine.
