Biography

Professor Bryan Bryson obtained his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and PhD in biological engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Following his education, he pursued postdoctoral training under Sarah Fortune at the Harvard School of Public Health. During this time, he developed a keen interest in leveraging modern approaches in biological engineering to gain insights into tuberculosis pathogenesis. His research primarily revolves around the complex dynamics of bacterial infections, particularly focusing on Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which remains a significant cause of mortality worldwide. Bryson's work aims to dissect the heterogeneity of tuberculosis infections and develop strategies to manipulate the immune response for improved bacterial control. He is committed to answering critical questions regarding the immune system's role in tuberculosis and has been involved in innovative research on vaccine development.
