Biography

Dr. Bose’s research is focused on understanding innate immune inflammatory and antiviral response against respiratory viruses like influenza A virus (flu virus), human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and parainfluenza viruses (PIV). Dr. Bose conducted his post-doctoral studies at Cleveland Clinic, Ohio as a Morgenthaler Foundation post-doctoral fellow. Following his post-doc, Dr. Bose was recruited by University of Texas Health Science Center Medical School (Microbiology & Immunology) as Assistant Professor. He became a tenured Professor at University of TExas medical school in 2010 and moved to Washington State University in 2014. He was appointed as Caroline Engle Distinguished Professor of Research on Infectious Diseases from 2015-2017. Dr. Bose holds multiple U.S. patents, has served as a regular member of National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Innate Immunity and Inflammation study section (2012-2016) and served as Academic Editor of PLoS ONE from 2012-2023. Currently he is a Section Editor of Journal of Immunology (JI) published by The American Association of Immunologists (AAI), Associate Editor of Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, and Editorial Board member of Genes & Immunity. He was elected as an honorary fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2022 and received Zoetis Award for Research Excellence in 2020.  He was also elected as a member of The Washington State Academy of Sciences in 2023.
