Jelle Wit MSc, PhD

Jelle de Wit (1983) is head of the department Immune Mechanisms – Correlates of Protection (IMC) within the Center for Immunology of Infectious Diseases and Vaccines (IIV). Within the department IMC, we aim to gain insight into the immune mechanisms that protect us against human pathogens. The research is focused on characterizing cellular immune responses in detail, both the innate arm (Elena Pinelli), as well as the adaptive arm (Cecile van Els, Patricia Kaaijk, and Josine van Beek). In various research projects, we aim to obtain biomarkers or immune profiles that correlate to protection against disease.
