Biography

Biography

Jorg van Loosdregt (1981) obtained his PhD at the Molecular Immunology laboratory, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands. Here, he studied the regulation of the transcription factor FOXP3, which is crucial for both the differentiation and function of Regulatory T cells, and therefore for maintaining immune homeostasis. After completing his PhD program in 2011 (cum laude) Jorg moved to the Department of Translational Research, at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Institute in San Diego, USA, on a fellowship from the Dutch Arthritis Foundation.  Here he investigated the role of autophagy in orchestrating effector T cell responses, with a focus on rheumatoid arthritis. Since December 2013 van Loosdregt is working in the laboratory for translational immunology (LTI) and Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) where he is supported by a VENI fellowship.  Here he uses a translational approach to study the molecular pathways that are deregulated in autoimmune diseases with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic strategies to treat these diseases.
