The researchers behind the standing
Independently verified: current affiliation, public profile and published contact confirmed from the open record.
Avery August
August studies how Tec family kinases tune T cell responses in infection, asthma and inflammatory disease, work with direct implications for immune-targeted drugs. As Cornell's Deputy Provost and an HHMI Professor he also leads national efforts to broaden participation in science, mentoring programmes that span universities across the United States.
Deborah J. Fowell
Fowell uses advanced intravital imaging to watch CD4 T cells move and act inside infected tissue, revealing how immunity is choreographed at the site of attack. Chairing Cornell's Department of Microbiology and Immunology and directing its Center for Immunology, she links imaging physicists, engineers and clinicians in NIH-funded collaborative programmes.
Jessica A. McArt
Appointed dean of Cornell's top-ranked veterinary college in 2026, McArt is an epidemiologist of dairy cattle health whose work on hyperketonemia and early lactation disease shapes herd management worldwide. Her research with partners in New Zealand and Australia links animal welfare, farm economics and food system sustainability, and she edits JDS Communications.
