Overview

Dr. Weinstein majored in biology at Northeastern University. Concomitantly, he interned for two years
in the antibody-engineering division of Millennium Pharmaceuticals where he cloned and humanized
murine monoclonal antibodies directed toward therapeutic targets in rheumatoid arthritis and multiple
sclerosis. After graduation, he worked for a year at Critical Therapeutics where he helped develop
anti-inflammatory fusion proteins as a sepsis therapeutic, solidifying a desire for a career in
immunology research. Dr. Weinstein then attended University of Florida, where he worked on
understanding the mechanisms that underlie the generation of autoreactive B lymphocytes in
lupus/chronic inflammation mouse models. After working with B cells in lupus, he went to Yale Medical
School to complete a post-doctoral fellowship on T cell biology in autoimmunity. Dr. Weinstein stayed
on and became faculty in the Section of Rheumatology where he began combining advanced
approaches in cellular immunology and genomics to investigate T- and B-cell dependent responses in
autoimmunity. Dr. Weinstein?s long-term research interests are to identify the signals from T cells that
regulate B cells in the chronic autoreactive state compared to those in an acute infectious response as
means to understand how adaptive immune cells malfunction in autoimmunity.
