Annette Oxenius (born 10 November 1968) is a Swiss immunologist who is a professor of immunology at ETH Zurich. Her research considers host-pathogen interactions and how the immune system responds to pathogenic infections. She was awarded the Cloëtta Prize in 2022 and elected member of the European Molecular Biology Organization in 2023.
Early life and education
Oxenius was born in Zürich and went to school in there. She studied biochemistry and immunology at the University of Zurich, where she worked in the Institute for Experimental Immunology. She moved to ETH Zurich for her doctoral research, where she generated genetically modified T-cell receptor mice to understand T cell-mediated immune responses.[1] She was a postdoctoral researcher in ETH Zurich and University of Oxford.
Research and career
In 2002, Oxenius joined the faculty at ETH Zurich, where she was made full professor in 2012.[2] Oxenius studies the interactions between pathogens and their hosts. She is interested in how immune system cells eliminate viral infections. She has studied cellular immunity in patients infected with HIV and the cellular pathways involved in viral infections.[citation needed]
