Amanda M. Jamieson is currently an Assistant Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Brown University. She is the Principal Investigator on a 12 month pilot project with the CPVB COBRE entitled: “Impact if Influenza virus/L. pneumophila coinfection on lung endothelial cells”

Dr. Jamieson graduated summa cum laude from Carleton College, and received her Ph.D. from University of California at Berkeley. Her graduate work in Dr. David Raulet’s laboratory focused on the development and activation of cells of the early or innate immune system called Natural Killer (NK) cells. She began her post-doctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Ruslan Medzhitov at Yale University School of Medicine where she focused on the consequences of viral bacterial coinfections. She continued this work at the University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria as a University Assistant in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas Decker. While at the University of Vienna she served as an instructor for Immunology lecture and laboratory courses, mentored the theses of 3 master’s students, and received two research grants (one as a PI and one as a co-PI) from the Austrian Research Foundation (FWF).

She started her position at Brown University on July 1,2013. Her research focuses on the role of the innate immune system in resistance and resilience responses to complex diseases of the pulmonary and circulatory systems. She is an author on more than 30 peer-reviewed publications, one book chapter, and has been invited to speak both nationally and internationally. Her research is currently funded by Defense Advanced Research Project Agency Young Faculty Award (DARPA) Director’s Award YFA15D15AP00100, NIH/NIGMS COBRE Center for Computational Biology of Human Disease IDeA grant P20GM109035, and NIH/NHLBI 1R01HLI12688701A1
