Kaitlyn Sadtler

Tenure-Track Investigator
NIH/NIBIB
Bethesd, Maryland, United States

Dr. Kaitlyn Sadtler is a scientist and Chief of the Section on Immuno-Engineering at the National Institutes of Health. She began her lab at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering after a postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Department of Chemical Engineering working on the molecular mechanisms of immune activation in the foreign body response. She completed her Ph.D. at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine where she showed a role for immune cells in biomaterial-mediated muscle regeneration. At NIH, Dr. Sadtler has lent her lab’s expertise to the fight against COVID-19, leading a study that detected 16.8 million undiagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infections in the US after the first pandemic wave in the US. She continues her work on immunoengineering in the context of traumatic injury focusing on the balance of tolerance and autoimmunity during tissue reconstruction, recently implicating a new immune cell type in self-tolerance after volumetric muscle loss.
