About the Author: Peter J. Krause, M.D. is a physician-scientist whose research focuses on tick-borne infections, especially human babesiosis,
Borrelia miyamotoi infection, and Lyme disease. He received his MD at Tufts University School of Medicine, completed post-medical school training at Yale, Stanford, and UCLA, was a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and is currently a Senior Research Scientist at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine where he teaches "Immunology for Epidemiologists".
Paula B. Kavathas, Ph.D. is an immunologist whose research focuses on CD8 T cell immunity and immunotherapy. She received her Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin, was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and is currently Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Immunobiology at Yale University School of Medicine where she teaches a popular Yale College undergraduate course "Immunity and Contagion".
Nancy H. Ruddle, Ph.D. is an immunologist with a particular interest in cytokines and inflammation as they relate to autoimmunity and lymphoid organ development. She received her Ph.D. and did postdoctoral training at Yale University where she is a Professor at Yale School of Public Health. She developed the first Yale course, "Immunology for Epidemiologists" and taught it for more than 35 years.
