ABOUT STEVE W. GRANGER

As a translational immunologist turned diagnostics innovator, I have spent the past two decades moving discoveries from the bench to real‑world impact. My academic journey began with seminal work on the LIGHT–HVEM costimulatory pathway in T‑cell biology and mucosal immunity, resulting in highly cited papers in The Journal of Immunology and Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews and shaping our understanding of lymphocyte‑driven inflammation. Today, those foundational studies continue to inform therapeutic strategies for autoimmunity and cancer. Google ScholarRecognizing the need to translate immune insights into accessible health tools, I shifted focus to non‑invasive biomarker measurement. Co‑authoring the Nature Biotechnology roadmap “Accessing analytes in biofluids for peripheral biochemical monitoring” helped catalyze a new wave of wearable and at‑home testing technologies and remains my most cited work (600+ citations). Google ScholarDuring the COVID‑19 pandemic, I led collaborative efforts demonstrating that saliva can reliably track population‑scale SARS‑CoV‑2 antibody responses—work now referenced in public‑health testing frameworks worldwide. At Salimetrics, where I serve as Chief Scientific Officer, my team has since expanded saliva and dried‑blood‑spot platforms that quantify stress (cortisol), sleep (melatonin), metabolic health (insulin), and inflammation (CRP, multiplex cytokines), enabling researchers, clinicians, and wellness programs to deploy lab‑quality assays beyond traditional settings. Google ScholarCollectively, my 40+ publications have garnered >2,500 citations, with an h‑index of 21, and span immunology, bioengineering, and clinical assay development. I thrive at the intersection of science and application—building interdisciplinary teams, securing SBIR/NIH funding, and guiding product roadmaps that democratize precision health insights.
