Danyvid Olivares-Villagómez, Ph.D.

I was born and raised in Mexico City where I graduated from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México with a major in Biology. I received a Master's in Science degree from Vanderbilt University where I studied the immune response to Trypanosoma cruzi. I moved to New York University to study regulatory T cells in the laboratory of Dr. Juan J. Lafaille, and obtained a Ph.D. degree from this institution. I joined the laboratory of Dr. Luc Van Kaer in Vanderbilt University Medical Center to investigate the role of the thymus leukemia in mucosal immune responses. In 2017 I opened my laboratory where we study the biology of intraepithelial lymphocytes and their role during inflammatory processes.
