Dr. Jordan Pober was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in the New York City metropolitan area. He attended Haverford College, graduating summa cum laude, and entered Yale’s Medical Scientist Training Program, receiving his MD and PhD in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry under Prof. Lubert Stryer. He completed his anatomic pathology residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and completed postdoctoral training with Prof. Jack Strominger in the Department of Biochemistry at Harvard University. He served as an attending Pathologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and as an Assistant and then Associate Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School before returning to Yale, where he is currently a Professor of Pathology, Immunobiology, and Dermatology.
At Yale, Dr. Pober founded both the Vascular Biology and Transplantation (VBT) Program and the Human and Translational Immunology (HTI) Program. His research focuses on understanding the functions of blood vessels and vascular cells in human inflammatory and immune responses, and reciprocally, how inflammation and immunity affect vascular health and function. He is particularly interested in how insights from experiments with human cells, tissues, and humanized mice can be applied to improve organ replacement therapy, advance tissue engineering, and regenerate injured tissues. More recently, he has expanded his research to investigate the pathogenesis of celiac disease.
