Derek Croote
United States of America
As a co-founder of IgGenix, Dr. Croote is building upon pivotal work he performed in the laboratory of Dr. Stephen Quake at Stanford University. His research focused on applying mass spectrometry, single-cell transcriptomics, next-generation sequencing, and bioinformatics to better understand a diverse set of diseases and immunological perturbations including food allergies, flu vaccination, dengue infection, and glioblastoma. He is the lead author of a publication in the peer-reviewed journal Science that describes the first characterization of single human IgE B cells and the allergen-specific antibodies they produce. He received his B.S. from Brown University and Ph.D. from Stanford University where he was a National Science Foundation and Stanford Graduate fellow.
