Faculty & Scientific Staff
Peter Morawski, PhD
Dr. Morawski received his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in 2013. He subsequently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. During this time, he also served as an adjunct instructor of biochemistry and immunology at the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences and The Catholic University of America.
In 2017, he joined BRI to study human autoimmune disease, became a staff scientist in 2019, and joined the faculty in 2022. He is a research assistant member of the Center for Fundamental Immunology.
His work focuses on how adaptive immune responses interact with structural cells in human tissues and how these interactions contribute to inflammatory and autoimmune disease. He combines human tissue analysis with cellular, molecular, imaging and genetic approaches to study immune-stromal interactions in the skin and other barrier tissues, with particular emphasis on systemic diseases such as scleroderma and lupus.
