Hillarie Plessner Windish, PhD

Postdoctoral Scientist
Hillarie Windish is a Postdoctoral Scientist at IDRI working
with Dr. Rhea Coler on characterization of preclinical vaccine
candidates for tuberculosis. Her particular interests are in
understanding the changes in the immune response to
tuberculosis that occur following vaccination, and how to
protect particularly susceptible populations from tuberculosis
using vaccines.
Hillarie received her BSc in Biology from Arcadia University
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2003, and her PhD from the
laboratory of JoAnne Flynn at the University of Pittsburgh in
2008. Her graduate research focused on the host-pathogen
interaction between M. tuberculosis and the mammalian
immune system. Hillarie is a postdoctoral member of the
American Association of Immunologists.
