​

Peter Sage received his PhD in Immunology from Harvard Medical School in 2013 during which he received the Jeffrey Modell Prize.  After completing a postdoctoral fellowship in Dr. Arlene Sharpe’s laboratory in the Department of Immunology at Harvard Medical School, Peter started his independent laboratory in the Division of Renal Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital at Harvard Medical School.  Peter is currently an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Immunologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.  Peter’s lab studies how the immune system regulates antibody responses in settings of health in disease, particularly in vaccination, infection, autoimmunity, allergies and transplantation.  He has made important contributions to the understanding of follicular T cell biology, including seminal studies investigating Tfr cell functions, establishing the roles of Tfh and Tfr cells in antibody mediated rejection after kidney transplantation, and co-discovering Tfh13 cells that promote pathogenic antibodies during allergies.  ​
