TitleInfection immunologist

Jes Dietrich is an infection immunologist working for Statens Serum Institut in Denmark. He went to the University of Copenhagen.[1]

He has published articles on topics such as streptococci, tuberculosis, polio and recently Chlamydia trachomatis.

In 2016, Jes launched a project investigating the immune response to genital infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct). This work received funding from the Danish Council for Independent Research (DFF) in both 2019 and 2022 to explore the role of Th17 T cells in Ct infection. Additionally, Jes’s research group secured EU funding through the VacPath project to study the involvement of CD8 T cells in chlamydia infections and to evaluate vaccines designed to induce CD8 T cell responses.

Jes is also engaged in research aimed at identifying the optimal immune response to Streptococcus infections and in the development of a vaccine targeting this pathogen.
