Arthur A. Hurwitz

Dr. Hurwitz received his Ph.D. from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1994, where he studied the role of the blood-brain barrier in HIV infection of the central nervous system (CNS) with Drs. Bill Lyman and Joan Berman. He continued his training at UC Berkeley as a Postdoc with Dr. Jim Allison. His studies were on the role of T cell costimulatory signals in modulating anti-tumor and autoimmune responses. In 1999, Dr. Hurwitz was appointed Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and Urology at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY. His research program moved to the CCR in 2003, where he continues to study T cell tolerance to antigens relevant in anti-tumor immunity and autoimmune disease in animal models.
