Andrew Fiore-Gartland, PhD
Principal Staff Scientist
Biostatistics, Bioinformatics and Epidemiology Program, Fred Hutch
Dr. Fiore-Gartland is a biostatistician and computational biologist seeking to understand immune responses induced by vaccination, with the ultimate goal of identifying the specific responses that mediate protection. He has expertise in analysis of multiparameter flow cytometry, T cell receptor repertoire sequencing, and transcriptomic biomarkers. As a faculty member of the NIH HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) and Co-Director of the Vaccine and Immunology Statistical Center (VISC) he leads a team of statisticians and data scientists that conduct collaborative quantitative research to accelerate vaccine and biomarker development for TB, HIV, COVID-19, malaria and other diseases.
