After graduating from Stanford University with a BA degree in Human Biology, Dr. Kelsall completed medical school at Case Western Reserve University, a residency in internal medicine at New York Hospital/Cornell, and subspecialty training in infectious diseases at the University of Virginia, where he studied IgA responses to Entamoeba histolytica with Johnathan Ravdin and Dick Pearson. He came to the NIH in 1992 to further his studies of mucosal immunology with Warren Strober, where he defined the first phenotypes and localization of dendritic cell subpopulations in Peyer’s patches and focused his studies on the reciprocal roles of IL-12 and TGFβ in the induction of oral tolerance. He started his own laboratory in 1995, and since that time his work has been directed to understanding the development, phenotype and function of myeloid cells in the intestine, innate immunity to intestinal viral infections, the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease in mouse models, and the influence of commensal bacteria on innate and adaptive immunity in the intestine.
