Nichole R. Klatt PhD

Dr. Klatt joined the Department of Pharmaceutics faculty as an assistant professor in 2012. The focus of her work is on biotherapeutics in infectious diseases and global health. Klatt received her PhD in immunology and molecular pathogenesis from Emory University in 2008, and she also studied as a visiting fellow at the University of Pennsylvania from 2006 to 2008.

She completed her postdoctoral training at the National Institutes of Health in 2012 in the Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland. The Klatt Research Lab in the Department of Pharmaceutics focuses on better understanding the mechanisms by which HIV infection causes dysfunction of the gastrointestinal and reproductive tract immune systems. Klatt is focusing on using this knowledge to develop novel therapeutic interventions to prevent transmission of HIV and to treat HIV-associated disease.
