Zachary Davis, PhD

Summary
Dr. Davis graduated from Rush University with a PhD in immunology in 2013 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Jeff Miller at the University of Minnesota in 2018. After completing his fellowship, Dr. Davis directed a team of skilled researchers in a collaboration between the University of Minnesota and an industry partner in the development and use of a natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy platform. Dr. Davis's research focus is primarily on mechanisms of NK cell target recognition and preclinical development of NK-based cellular immunotherapies. His interests also include the use of NK-cell based immunotherapies for the recognition and eradication of HIV from latently infected reservoirs in anti-retroviral therapy-treated individuals.
