Brendan M. Giles, PhD

  • Postdoctoral Fellow

Why did you choose the University of Pittsburgh?

The University of Pittsburgh provided a unique opportunity to investigate immunology of infectious disease using emerging pathogens. Developing vaccines for highly pathogenic viruses is exciting and translates directly to improving human health. The outstanding faculty and state-of-the-art facilities combine to create an environment that fosters independent thought and collaboration, which have been essential to my growth as a scientist.

Following his graduation from the University of Pittsburgh, Brendan accepted a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado in the Department of Rheumatology.
