John Misasi

Dr. John Misasi, M.D., currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Virology, Immunology, and Microbiology at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. In late 2023, Dr. Misasi joined the faculty of Boston University at the National Emerging Infectious Disease Laboratory. The lab employs virology, immunology, and structural biology tools to elucidate the mechanisms of antibody action and study virus-host immune system interactions that contribute to human disease. Dr. Misasi’s lab specifically focuses on understanding the relationship between the quality of antibodies produced, disease severity, and long-term immunity. His research aims to identify critical vulnerabilities in the life cycle of pediatric respiratory viruses and high-containment pathogens, identifying therapeutic targets and providing insights for structure-based vaccine design.
