Dr Sereti is the Chief of the HIV Pathogenesis Section in the Laboratory of Immunoregulation at NIAID. After her Internal Medicine training and Chief residency at Northwestern University in Chicago, she completed an infectious disease fellowship at NIAID/NIH and joined the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, initially as a staff clinician, and starting in 2009 as a tenure track investigator. She received tenure in 2015. Her group studies the acute (IRIS) and long-term inflammatory complications of treated HIV and the etiology, prognosis and management of idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia, a rare disorder of low CD4 counts in the absence of HIV. Her previous work on inflammation and lymphopenia has aspired new projects on COVID-19 to address both the pathogenic mechanisms of inflammation and lymphopenia and to study immune interventions. Dr Sereti is a physician-scientist with a strong commitment to diversity, excellence in clinical care and mentorship.
