Nicolas Chevrier received a BS in biochemistry from the Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, France, an MS in biochemistry and immunology from the Université de la Méditérranée in Marseille, France, and a PhD in immunology from Harvard Medical School in 2012.
He led an independent research group as a Bauer Fellow at the FAS Center for Systems Biology at Harvard University from 2012 to 2017, and joined the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering as an assistant professor in September 2017.
Chevrier's lab studies the general rules governing immunity and other complex biological systems. Those rules live across scales, from the whole organism down to molecules, and only surface if we can measure at all of them at once. Mostly we can’t, so the lab builds the missing methods, instruments, and algorithms. They open up questions that couldn’t be asked before, and they lead us to new mechanisms and concepts in immunology, disease, and biology at large. The lab shares what it builds because a tool is only as good as the questions people bring to it.
