Aimee trained at Stanford University, Washington University in St. Louis, and University of Pennsylvania. She served as a professor at Penn for 17 years before moving in 2023 to become the Chair of Dermatology at Columbia University. Outside of work, you can find her partaking in the NYC food scene, walking her dog Winston, and doing Sunday morning bootcamp with Karen Katz at 102nd and Riverside.

Silvio Manfredo Vieira, PhD

Gexin Zhao, MD, PhD
|
|
Silvio received his PhD at the School of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo, Brazil, followed by postdoctoral training at Harvard and Yale, where he discovered that gut bacteria translocate to distal tissues and induce autoantibodies typical of lupus and autoimmune hepatitis, indicating a critical role for intestinal microbes in initiating or perpetuating local or systemic autoimmunity. Silvio joined the Payne Lab to direct translational research and quality assurance programs necessary to move novel cell therapies through early phase clinical trials under an academic-industry alliance. On weekends, Silvio likes to play drums, cook, go biking and spend time with his son and wife.

Gexin joined the lab in 2024 after receiving her PhD from Sun Yat-sen University. Her doctoral research focused on the isolation and characterization of potent monoclonal antibodies against Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and the development of anti-EBV mRNA vaccines for anti-tumor immunity. At Columbia she is focusing on the development of novel precision cellular therapies for immunity and elucidating CAAR T cell biology. In her spare time, she likes climbing and finding nice places to eat (there are a lot of them in NYC!)
