Biosketch:
Jonathan
Braun, M.D., Ph.D., is a researcher devoted to the roles of the immune system in
resistance and susceptibility to disease of the digestive system. A professor at
the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, he is presently the Chair of the
Department Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and Director of Tumor Immunology
at the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
A native of Cleveland,
Ohio, Dr. Braun was raised in Los Angeles, where he studied violin and modern
western history in the public schools. An undergraduate at Stanford University,
he received his bachelor of science in chemistry and biology in 1975. His
medical studies and doctoral research were pursued at Harvard Medical School and
in the laboratory of Emil Unanue; he received his M.D.-PhD. in 1981. After
residency in Pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a postdoctoral
fellowship with David Baltimore at the Whitehead Institute, he joined the
faculty at the UCLA School of Medicine in 1985.
Dr. Braun's research
centers on the mechanisms of microbial-immune comensalism and conflict in the
intestine, the molecules and cell biology involved in this interaction, and the
related search for new strategies of diagnosis and treatment of IBD. His group
is also devoted to new strategies in functional immune assessment, including
gene targeting and positron-emission tomography for real-time imaging of
immune-mediated inflammation. He serves at national level in the American
Society of Investigative Pathology, the Clinical Immunology Society, and the
Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies, and on several editorial boards and
NIH advisory panels. At UCLA, he directs the clinical programs in Pathology and
Laboratory Medicine of UCLA Healthcare, and the UCLA Immunotherapy Research
Group, devoted to multidisciplinary clinical research and innovation in emerging
immune-based therapeutics.
