Dr. Chi is Member and Robert G. Webster Endowed Chair in Immunology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Dr. Chi has made fundamental discoveries in immunometabolism by establishing metabolic reprogramming of immune cell fate. His laboratory ushered in the concept of metabolic reprogramming in immunology, revealed the critical roles of mTOR and nutrient signaling, and brought systems biology and functional genomics to immunometabolism field. Among the highlights of recent work, his laboratory has established metabolic adaptation and nutrient rewiring of T cell and dendritic cell subsets and applied in vivo CRISPR screening and other systems tools to reconstruct metabolic signaling and gene regulatory networks and identify new therapeutic targets in cancer and other diseases. His work is highly regarded and widely referenced, earning him a place on the 2020–2023 Highly Cited Researchers lists. He has recently received an NIAID R37 merit award and an NCI R35 outstanding investigator award.
