Alessandro Sette

Alessandro Sette is an Italian immunologist. He is a professor at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI). He is an adjunct professor at the University of California, San Diego. Sette studies the specific epitopes that the immune system recognizes in cancer, autoimmunity, allergy, and infectious diseases.[1]

In 1988, Sette moved to San Diego to conduct research at San Diego biotech Cytel. He then co-founded Epimmune. In 2003, Sette joined the faculty of LJI.[2]

Sette co-leads the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB), an online database that catalogues epitopes involved in immune system recognition of allergens, infectious diseases, autoantigens, and transplanted tissue in humans and various species.[3]
