M. Zeeshan Chaudhry

Zeeshan Chaudhry is an emerging expert in virus immunology. His research focuses on the transcriptional regulation of immune cells, particularly CD8⁺ T cells and innate lymphoid cells, including NK cells and ILCs. He aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms that guide the development of long-lived memory T cells, which are critical for durable protective immunity. A key interest of his work is how stem-like progenitors of these cells can be manipulated to combat chronic diseases.

Dr. Chaudhry received his doctoral training at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Germany, where he investigated viral immune evasion strategies. His research has been published in leading journals such as Nature Immunology, Immunity, PNAS, and PLOS Pathogens.
