MARTIN FLAJNIK, PhD
Professor, University of Maryland Baltimore School of Medicine
Dept. of Microbiology and Immunology
Baltimore, MD USA 21201

Education
Martin Flajnik graduated from the Pennsylvania State University in 1978 with a BS in Biology. He earned an MS in 1979 and a PhD in 1983 from the University of Rochester (NY) in Microbiology and Immunology. He was a postdoc (and completed his PhD) from 1983-1988 at the Basel Institute for Immunology under Louis Du Pasquier, and rose to professor in his first independent academic position at the University of Miami (FL) (1988-97). He has been a professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Medicine since 1998.

Honors and Awards

• "Faculty Member of the Year Award," teaching award sponsored by the Microbiology and Immunology University of Miami undergraduates, 1995
• Plenary talks at the International Immunology Meetings of 1989 and 1995
• Co-editor of the journal Immunogenetics since 2001
• Vice President of the International Society of Developmental and Comparative Immunology (ISDCI) (2001-2007)
• GPILS teacher of the year, UMB Graduate School, 2008
• "Immunological Guru” and plenary speaker at the NIH Immunology Retreat, 2010
• Funded by the NIH continually from 1988-present
• Contributed a chapter to Fundamental Immunology editions 5-7 (1992-2012) and co-editor of the 8th edition (2022)
  Research Interests
  My work is centered on the evolution of the adaptive immune system, with the major goal being to understand the origins of adaptive immunity. I was involved in the early biochemical and molecular characterization of lower vertebrate MHC, and have identified several immunoglobulin and T cell receptor isotypes in ectothermic vertebrates. Our lab recently has become interested in the evolution of lymphoid tissues.

Klappentext

Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022!

Defining the field of immunology for 40 years, Paul's Fundamental Immunology continues to provide detailed, authoritative, up-to-date information that uniquely bridges the gap between basic immunology and the disease process. The fully revised 8th edition maintains the excellence established by Dr. William E. Paul, who passed away in 2015, and is now under new editorial leadership of Drs. Martin F. Flajnik, Nevil J. Singh, and Steven M. Holland. It's an ideal reference and gold standard text for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, basic and clinical immunologists, microbiologists and infectious disease physicians, and any physician treating diseases in which immunologic mechanisms play a role.
