Malcolm S. Duthie, PhD
Senior Scientist
Malcolm Duthie is a Senior Scientist at IDRI. Malcolm's main
research interest lies in determining and examining the
host/pathogen interactions that initiate and control immune
responses, how these interactions can be beneficially
manipulated, and ultimately, their practical application within
disease control programs.
Malcolm began his work in Seattle when he joined Dr. Stuart
Kahn's laboratory at the University of Washington,
examining protective and pathologic immune responses
during experimental T. cruzi infection. After transitioning from
Dr. Kahn's laboratory to IDRI, Malcolm continued
investigating T. cruzi infection and became involved with
IDRI's leprosy vaccine development program. In 2006,
Malcolm began spearheading IDRI's leprosy program and is
currently working with collaborators in several countries to
develop new diagnostic tools and identify vaccine candidates
to improve the treatment of leprosy. Prior to coming stateside,
Malcolm worked as a tutor in the departments of
Immunology, Medical Microbiology, and Medicine at the
University of Edinburgh. He also served as the secretary of
the Edinburgh University Medical Microbiology Society.
Malcolm is currently a member of both the British Society for
Immunology and the American Association of
Immunologists.
Malcolm received his BSc with honors in Immunology from
the University of Glasgow in Scotland. He then went on to
earn his PhD from the University of Edinburgh, where his
graduate research culminated in his thesis, entitled "Local
Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation on Cutaneous Immune
Responses."
