Dr Heather received his PhD in Prof. Benny Chain’s lab at the Department of Infection & Immunity at University College London, where he built pipelines for the unbiased sequencing of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires. After his graduate studies he was recruited to the Center for Cancer Research at Massachusetts General Hospital by Dr. Mark Cobbold, where he started working on antigen presentation and immunotherapies alongside his TCR work. When Dr. Cobbold transitioned into industry, Jamie moved within the department to the lab of Dr. Aaron Hata, with whom he is currently working on tools to better make use of TCRs, and identifying oncogene-reactive TCRs in lung cancer.
