Hi, I’m Fumi, a PhD student in Immunology at Stanford Medicine, in the Jagannathan Lab. I study the role of natural killer cells in the immunity to malaria that children acquire through repeated infection. I grew up in Japan, majored in computational biology at Harvey Mudd College, and trained in wet labs at Scripps Research, Johns Hopkins and the National University of Singapore. I’m drawn to infectious diseases that fall hardest on underserved communities.
