About the Presenter

Dr. Savage’s research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating immune tolerance and the immune response to cancer, with special emphasis on the biology of Foxp3-expressing regulatory T cells, self-reactive conventional T cell populations, and tumor-associated T cells. He earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Virginia and a PhD in cancer biology at Stanford University. Following postdoctoral fellowships at the University of California, Berkeley, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, he joined the University of Chicago faculty in 2009. He is an active member of the Committee on Cancer Biology, University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center, and director since 2018 of the Interdisciplinary Training Program in Immunology T32 that supports graduate education.
