Dr. Burrows received his PhD in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine from the Biomedical Research Centre at the University of British Columbia. His doctoral work identified a novel mechanism by which the micronutrient Vitamin D transcriptionally regulates gut-resident T cells and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). This regulation is shown to be critical for maintaining intestinal homeostasis and ensuring protective immunity. Following his PhD, Dr. Burrows completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Immunology at the University of Toronto, where he demonstrated that the colonization of intestinal protozoan commensal microbes finely tunes both local and systemic immunity. In 2025, Dr. Burrows joined the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University, where he continues his research on mucosal immunology, autoimmunity, and host-microbiome interactions.
