Daniel Elias Kaufmann is a professor of medicine and chief physician of the Infectious Diseases Division at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) in Switzerland. He earned his medical doctorate at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), where he also completed his specialization in internal medicine and infectious diseases. He then continued his career in Boston in 2001 with a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. He was subsequently promoted to faculty and began his independent research career at the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard. In 2012, he left Boston for the University Hospital Center of Montreal (CHUM) where he became an associate and then full professor in May 2018. There, he took on institutional responsibilities as a senior physician-scientist. He held the position of director of the research axis in immunopathology and chaired the multidisciplinary medical working group responsible for managing severe COVID at CHUM, one of the largest tertiary care hospitals in Canada. He is also a co-founder of the Quebec Multicentric COVID Biobank (BQC-19). In November 2022, after 21 years in North America, he decided to return to CHUV in Lausanne to take up the position of Head of the Infectious Diseases Division and full professor at the University of Lausanne, while maintaining a secondary affiliation and a research laboratory in Montreal. He is a physician-scientist engaged in fundamental and translational research. His laboratory focuses on the immunovirology of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 with the aim of fostering the development of vaccination and cure strategies. His research interests include: i) the understanding of effective CD4 help in antiviral immunity; ii) the causes of virus-specific T cell impairment; iii) single-cell studies of HIV reservoirs; iv) COVID-19 pathogenesis; and v) SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immunity in vulnerable populations. Daniel Elias Kaufmann has a keen interest in the development of new laboratory techniques and analytical approaches to better integrate clinical data with in-depth biomolecular profiling in infectious diseases. He has published numerous articles in prestigious journals and has received several awards and distinctions, such as the Quebec Merit Research Scholar award.
