Daniel Lingwood is an Assistant Professor at The Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard and is a faculty member in the Virology Program at Harvard Medical School. He received his Ph.D. from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biology and Genetics, and conducted postdoctoral work at the Vaccine Research Center at NIH. Dr. Lingwood has garnered international recognition for his discovery that humans possess genetically-encoded antibody sequences that when properly oriented as germline B cell receptors, naturally engage conserved sites of viral vulnerability and serve as substrates upon which broadly neutralizing antibodies can be developed.
