Associate Professor
University of Calgary
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Dr. Jenne is an associate professor in the department of Microbiology, Immunology and Infectious Diseases and the department of Critical Care Medicine at the University of Calgary and is the Canada Research Chair in Imaging Approaches Towards Studying Infections. Dr. Jenne completed his PhD training at the University of Calgary before undertaking a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California San Francisco and the Australian National University. Upon returning to Calgary, Dr. Jenne trained with Dr. Paul Kubes in the area of intravital microscopy. Dr. Jenne’s lab now uses this technique to study the early innate immune and inflammatory responses to viral and bacterial infections in an effort to understand how interactions between immune cells and pathogens trigger blood clotting, causing tissue damage, and how this activation of the coagulation system can support the host immune response. This area of study has provided a foundation to evaluate how anti-platelet drugs and anti-coagulants may be harnessed to modulate inflammation and minimize tissue pathology following infection with viral pathogens including influenza A virus and SARS-CoV-2.
