Dillon Corvino

Dillon is an early career post-doctoral researcher. He obtained his PhD in late 2019, under the supervision of Prof. Rajiv Khanna and A/Prof. Corey Smith at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Brisbane, Australia. His PhD focused on adoptive T cell immunotherapy for EBV-associated malignancies. During his studies he explored various wet-lab and dry-lab technologies. Since graduating, Dr Corvino has started his first post-doctoral position with the Bald lab. He is currently investigating NK cell biology and trying to understand the fundamental biology underpinning NK cell plasticity. To address these research questions, Dr Corvino is using a multi-disciplinary approach, exploiting advanced single cell sequencing technologies, bioinformatics analysis, mathematical modelling, and murine models.
