Samuel J.S. RubinDr. “Yoni” Samuel J. S. Rubin completed his PhD in immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine in 2019, followed by postdoctoral training and MD at the same institution. His research focuses on better understanding the molecular and cellularmechanisms underlying chronic immune-mediated diseases and using this knowledge to develop safer, cheaper, and more effective tools for detecting and treating illness worldwide. In the field of mucosal immunology and immune cell trafficking, Dr. Rubin’s findings have inspired the development of novel blood-based methods for detection of gastroenterological conditions. His work has also led to the development of precision medicine therapeutics for the treatment of chronic auto-inflammatory conditions. Dr. Rubin is especially appreciative for the circuitous and often unexpected path that continues to characterize his career. Especially influential were the many instructors and mentors that inspired his dedication to teaching the student and shaped his past and ongoing endeavors. He has served as a guest editor for Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry and continues to serve as a reviewer for numerous scientific journals. Amongst other awards and recognitions, Dr. Rubin has received the United States National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and the Hugh McDevitt Prize in Immunology. Read More Read Less
