Joey Huang

Joey is a 4th year PhD student in the department of Biomedical Engineering. Joining in the summer of 2022, Joey’s research is broadly focused on the development of CAR T therapies for enhanced safety and efficacy. In addition to the many collaborative projects that she helps lead and enable, Joey’s thesis work is focused on understanding the role that various signaling domains play in the overall phenomena of T Cell exhaustion, in the hopes of not only better modeling how this may occur, but also how it can hopefully be prevented to enable more efficacious cell therapies. Joey is additionally a trainee in Boston University’s NIH Training program in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology (SB2). Outside of lab, Joey is an avid baker, and a photography enthusiast.
