Jason Shoemaker, PhD

Associate Professor
University of Pittsburgh, United States

Dr. Shoemaker is an associate professor in the Dept of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering with secondary appointments in the School of Medicine’s Dept of Computational and Systems Biology and the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his BS of chemical engineering at the University of Florida and his PhD of Chemical Engineering with emphasis on computer science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. After graduation, Dr. Shoemaker spent 6 years as a member and eventually the leader of the Japan Science and Technology Agency’s ERATO Infection-Induced Host Responses project’s Systems Biology Core. In 2015, he joined the University of Pittsburgh, where he is the program director (PD) and principal investigator (PI) of the ImmunoSystems Lab, where we develop and use cutting-edge computational tools to address questions on the mechanisms of disease and perform model-based treatment design. Our lab toolset includes model-based analysis, bioinformatics, machine learning and systems theory. Our recent research efforts have focused on modeling and improving immune responses during severe respiratory infection, with major emphasis on influenza virus infection and COVID-19. He was awarded the NSF CAREER Award in 2020, and Dr. Shoemaker was also the proud mentor of a Howard Hughes Gilliam Award winner, Emily Ackerman. Together, they worked to promote more accessible and supportive research environments in academia.
