陈玥舟博士由北京大学和北京生命科学研究所联合培养，于2009年获得细胞生物学博士，并于2014年在中国中医科学院获得医学博士学位。随后在哈佛大学医学院/布莱根妇女医院进行博士后研究，并于2020年晋升为哈佛大学医学院讲师。2022年11月起任北京大学生命科学学院和北京大学-清华大学生命科学联合中心研究员。陈玥舟博士具有细胞生物学、生物化学、免疫学、肠道微生物学、医学等多学科研究背景，在B细胞介导的免疫学，感染性疾病和疫苗接种后的免疫反应，以及肠道微生物与宿主相互作用等方向取得多项原创性成果，在Cell, Science Immunology, JEM, Molecular Cell等国际学术期刊上发表多篇论文。
免疫学的中心问题之一是识别“我”和“非我”。作为适应性免疫重要的一部分，B细胞通过形成庞大的抗体库，以及在生发中心T细胞的帮助下，激发独有的体细胞超突变（somatic hypermutation)，产生特异性抗体以识别和清除不断进化的病原微生物；另一方面，机体通过负向选择与自身抗原结合的B细胞保持对自身的耐受。通过长效抗体和记忆型B细胞形成的免疫记忆，机体可快速识别病原微生物的再次侵袭。
在感染性疾病或疫苗接种中，机体如何形成长效而广谱识别的抗体以应对不断进化的病原体？在自身免疫病中，致病性的自身抗体是如何形成的？可修饰的环境因素（如共生微生物）是否及如何影响B细胞分化和抗体产生？围绕这些问题，我们实验室以B细胞介导的免疫学为中心，基于小鼠模型和人体纵向队列，结合分子生物学，生物化学，活体成像，细胞谱系追踪和生物信息学，对以下几个方面的研究特别有兴趣：
1. 感染或疫苗接种后机体的保护性免疫学机制
2. 自身免疫病中致病性自身抗体的形成机制
3. 共生微生物对免疫系统的调节
