Research Scientist
Jing Li, PhD
Jing is an established mucosal immunologist in rheumatology with interest in how the microbiome establishes autoimmunity. Her work in the lab focuses upon Candida albicans in its interactions with the host, particuarly in how it primes auotimmune responses leading to rheumatoid arthritis.

Research Associate,
Sucai Liu, PhD
Sucai brings ~20 years of immunology research expertise to the lab.

Clinical Research Coordinator
Andrew Stahly, MPH
Andrew is our study coordinator and keeps the human research side of the lab running smoothly. He manages recruitment and coordination of our research participants, oversees IRB submissions and regulatory requirements, and helps keep our clinical studies organized and on track. He is also our go-to person for all things statistics, helping us turn piles of data into something that actually makes sense.

Research Assistant,
Laboratory Manager
Cassandra Levens
Cassandra has more than 10 years of laboratory experience and is the organizational force that keeps the lab running smoothly. She manages day-to-day lab operations, keeps everyone on task, makes sure supplies are stocked and equipment is running, and generally prevents chaos before it starts. She is also our resident mouse whisperer, with an almost magical ability to work with even the most challenging mice.

PhD Candidate, Immunology Graduate Program
Courtney Cowan
I am jointly mentored by Dr. Kuhn and Dr. Eric Pietras in the Division of Hematology at CU. My thesis project will combine the Kuhn lab's expertise in axial spondyloarthritis with that of the Pietras' lab in trained immunity. Stay tuned!

Research Assistant
Le Yi Phyo
Le Yi is joining us from Myanmar with >10 years' experience in medical microbiology and microbiome analysis.
