Regular biography
Kazuki Nagashima is a Lecturer in the Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology at Harvard University. His research focuses on T cell receptor recognition and the development of new technologies to explore human immunology at the molecular level. Nagashima's work investigates how the intestinal immune system distinguishes between beneficial microbes, nutrients, and pathogens, with implications for diseases such as cancer, IBD, and allergy. His lab is actively recruiting individuals at all levels who are ambitious and driven by curiosity. For more information, visit his lab website.
Scholar-generated biography
Kazuki Nagashima is a researcher at Harvard University, Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology, focusing on the immune system, microbiome, and T cell interactions. His work explores how the microbiome influences host immunity, particularly through T cell responses and immune modulation. Nagashima's research includes the role of gut microbiota in antitumor immunity, the impact of microbiome-derived molecules on host defense, and the interplay between immune cells and microbial communities. His studies also address autoimmune neuroinflammation and the identification of dietary antigens in oral tolerance. His research contributes to understanding the complex relationships between the microbiome, immune system, and disease.
