About

Dr. Kazuyo Moro is a pioneering immunologist whose research has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of innate immunity and type 2 immune responses. Her major contributions center on the discovery and characterization of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), a novel lymphocyte population that orchestrates allergic inflammation, parasite expulsion, and tissue repair. By identifying ILC2s as a critical source of type 2 cytokines like IL-5 and IL-13, Dr. Moro revealed a previously unrecognized arm of the immune system that operates independently of adaptive T cells. Her landmark work, including a highly cited study with over 360 citations from the FANTOM5 consortium, leveraged genome-wide CAGE profiling to map transcription initiation events across thousands of human and mouse samples, providing an invaluable resource for understanding gene regulation in immune cells. This achievement underscores her impact at the intersection of immunology and genomics. With a citation count exceeding 10,000, Dr. Moro’s discoveries have opened new avenues for therapeutic intervention in asthma, atopic dermatitis, and other type 2 inflammatory diseases, cementing her legacy as a transformative figure in modern immunology.
