Felix Armin Randow PhD

Felix Randow is a Group leader at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge and is an outstanding molecular immunologist. He has made major contributions to our understanding of human immunity by revealing novel principles of cell-autonomous defense. Guided by the importance of cell-autonomous immunity as the sole defender of unicellular organisms, he investigates the ability of individual human cells to defend themselves against infection. This work has provided important insights into the mechanism of anti-bacterial autophagy. He completed his Doctor of Philosophy at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
