Everybody calls me Kai because my last name can take years to learn (in case you wonder, my first name is Finnish, my last name German)! I came to Boston as a postdoctoral fellow, first at Brigham and Women's Hospital and then at Harvard College. I have stayed because Boston is such a great place to do science and have been a faculty member at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since 1995. I study T cells because of their fascinating biology and their central role in many human diseases, including cancer and autoimmunity. I enjoy developing highly innovative approaches to important questions, working with advanced technologies and writing compelling publications. I also very much enjoy teaching graduate students in the Harvard Immunology Program.
