Jeffrey A. Bluestone

Jeffrey A. Bluestone is a prominent immunologist and researcher who specializes in understanding how the immune system functions and how to control it. His work focuses on developing treatments for autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis, by promoting immune tolerance—teaching the immune system to recognize and not attack the body's own tissues. He has held leadership roles at institutions like the University of California, San Francisco, and is known for advancing therapies that aim to reprogram immune responses, potentially offering long-term solutions for autoimmune conditions.
