Jeffrey Ravetch

Dr. Jeffrey Ravetch is a Theresa and Eugene M. Lang Professor and head of the Leonard Wagner Laboratory of Molecular Genetics and Immunology at The Rockefeller University. He is a leading expert in antibody-mediated effector mechanisms and immune regulation, and contributed to the discovery of the key mechanisms by which Fc receptors operate. His current research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of how healthy immune cells are made to respond to specific antibodies and how a dysfunctional immune system attacks the body’s own tissues. Dr. Ravetch received his Ph.D. from Rockefeller University, his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College, and completed his postdoctoral research at the National Institutes of Health in the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics. He later joined the faculty at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell University Medical College before joining The Rockefeller University.
