Amitava Banerjee
Amitava is a joint postdoctoral fellow in the Meyer and Navlakha labs. He received his PhD in Physics from the University of Maryland and currently studies how T cells learn to differentiate between self and foreign peptides to mount immune responses against pathogens while avoiding autoimmune reactions.

Rishvanth Prabakar
Rish is a postdoctoral fellow. He studies the interaction between T cells and epithelial cells in the thymus to understand the process of negative selection which helps prevent auto immunity. He was previously trained in molecular and computational biology focusing on single cell genomics at the University of Southern California.
