Michael Gale, PhD
Labs | Virology

A professor of Immunology at the University of Washington, Dr. Gale is an immunologist and virologist with expertise in studies of virus/host interactions, innate immunity, and immune signaling of RNA viruses. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of innate immune response and immune programming against infection by RNA viruses, including emerging SARS-CoV-2 or flaviviruses, HIV, and influenza viruses. His group also examines the virus/host interactions that impart immune evasion and disease, and leverages this data to build improved vaccines, vaccine adjuvants, and antiviral therapeutics.
