Gerald Morris is a Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of California, San Diego, where he specializes in immunology and clinical pathology. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Microbiology from the University of Michigan, followed by his PhD in Immunology and MD from Wayne State University. His research primarily focuses on T lymphocyte development and function, particularly in the context of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Professor Morris investigates the dual role of donor T cells in mediating anti-tumor immunity and causing graft versus host disease (GVHD). He employs transgenic animal models and human cell culture systems to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of T cell activation and its effect on clinical outcomes in HSCT. His work aims to improve therapeutic strategies to manage GVHD while maximizing the protective immunity required for successful transplantation.
