Our Team

Yuriy Baglaenko - Group Leader

I do what I do because I can. I am driven by hard problems and seek new solutions. I want this to be a place where technology meets immunology and genetics.

I’ve done a lot of varied work.

I obtained my PhD at the University of Toronto in Immunology studying mouse models of autoimmunity. I continued my journey at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Broad Institute studying the human genetics of autoimmunity.

Justin Marlman -Research Associate III

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a Bachelor of Science. My prior research experience includes mosquito behavior and physiology, food safety from microbial contamination, and understanding the epigenetic mechanisms of macrophages during disease using next-generation sequencing.

I spend a lot of my free time outdoors either hiking, snowboarding, or playing pickleball. 

I am a lifelong learner with degrees in Biological Sciences, Liberal Arts of Health, Medicine, and Society, a minor in Sociology, and certificates in Medical Humanities, and Bioethics. 

I've worked on projects in very different fields from Lemurs and Ticks to Ophthalmology and Genomics and have been excited by all of them.

Away from the lab, you'll find me anywhere there is a spectacle. Be it a concert, ballet, or sporting event, I love a good show.
