Professor Stuart Tangye has 25+ years of experience, expertise and an international reputation in the fields of human cellular and molecular immunology and inborn errors of immunity (IEI). His research focuses on the biology of human immune cells in health and disease and understanding how defects in single genes result in various immune diseases. His research outcomes include elucidating critical roles for specific genes in human lymphocyte differentiation, determining intrinsic vs extrinsic defects in lymphocyte function in distinct immune dysregulatory conditions, and delineating functional requirements for effective host defense against infectious diseases.
His contributions to research have been recognised by being awarded the 2011 Gottschalk Medal from the Australian Academy of Sciences (‘outstanding research in the medical sciences by scientists under 40 years’), the Faculty of Science UTS Alumni Award (2013), a Fulbright Senior Scholarship (2015/16), a Fulbright Senior Fellowship (2015), and the Presidential Award from the Clinical Immunology Society (USA, 2019; “outstanding long-term high-impact contributions to the science and/or clinical practice of clinical immunology, including current up to date knowledge and/or perspective”). He was also awarded a Research Excellence Award from NHMRC in 2020.
