Ali Ellebedy is a viral immunologist. He was born in Egypt and graduated with a B.S. in pharmaceutical sciences from Cairo University in 2004. It was during his time at pharmacy school that he was first exposed to and became fascinated with immunology.<\/p>\n

In 2006, he moved to the US where he studied influenza virus vaccines at St Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN for his Ph.D. He then moved to Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where he was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Rafi Ahmed studying human B cell responses to viruses.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Ali joined the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis as an Assistant Professor. His team studies the factors determining the ultimate fate of B cells once they are engaged via virus infection or vaccination. He is a tenured associate professor and co-director of the Center for Vaccines and Immunity to Microbial Pathogens at Washington University School of Medicine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
