Axel Kallies PhD

Axel Kallies is Professor for Molecular Immunology at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He completed his PhD in Berlin, Germany, in 2002. After a postdoctoral period during which he studied plasma cell differentiation, he established his laboratory at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) in Melbourne, Australia. In 2017, he was recruited to the Department for Microbiology and Immunology at the Peter Doherty Institute, University of Melbourne. His team studies the molecular and metabolic control of lymphocyte differentiation in response to antigen. The focus of the lab is on understanding molecular pathways required for CD8 T cell and regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation.
