Personal profile
University profile
Dr. Christos Suriano joined the Department of Biology after receiving his Ph.D. from Wesleyan University (Middletown CT) in April 2018 and a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Princeton University (Princeton, NJ). As an NJ Association for Clinical and Translational Science Fellow at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Dr. Suriano studied how the host immune response to neurotropic viruses can cause damage to the brain and disrupt circuit function.
Prior to his postdoctoral research, Dr. Suriano's graduate work focused on defining a well-conserved genetic toolkit for hindbrain development across vertebrates. In his new lab, Dr. Suriano will focus on the interplay of the nervous system and immune system during viral infections and use this knowledge to improve the safety and efficacy of virally-mediated human gene therapies.
