Arthur Weiss is a professor of medicine and immunology at UCSF, studying how tyrosine kinases and phosphatases regulate lymphocyte activation and immune responses. He is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and a member of the Tetrad and Immunology graduate programs.
Education and Training. Awards and Honors. Overview. Research Interest: The response of lymphocytes to antigen which initiates an antigen specific immune response also represents a unique opportunity to study how complex molecular interactions between cells can lead to developmental decisions, cell differentiation and proliferation.
Oct 15, 2019 · Art Weiss is a renowned immunologist and rheumatologist who developed the first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) in 1991. He is also a distinguished mentor and researcher at UCSF, where he received the 2019 William B. Coley Award for his contributions to basic and tumor immunology.
The Weiss lab is interested in the biochemical signal transduction mechanisms that control T and B cell responses. The response to antigen by lymphocytes involves complex molecular interactions involving multiple receptors.
