Center Directors
BRI is built around four Centers of Discovery. Our Centers enable us to work collaboratively toward discoveries that improve our understanding of the immune system and lead to life-changing patient care. They also allow us to smoothly move our research between the lab and clinic, and accelerate progress toward new advances.
Our Center Directors include:
Daniel J. Campbell, PhD
Karen Cerosaletti, PhD
Adam Lacy-Hulbert, PhD
Cate Speake, PhD
External and Academic Affairs
Much of our work goes beyond BRI. We help build the next generation of immunology leaders by working with interns, graduate students and postdocs across our organization. We also team up with other research institutes and industry partners to tackle new research questions and accelerate discoveries.
