Dr. Andrea Love

Dr. Andrea Love holds a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology and works full-time as a life sciences researcher with over fifteen years of experience spanning basic science, translational medicine, and clinical research in areas including cancer research, vaccines and virology, cell and gene therapy, and immunotherapy. In addition to her research career, she serves as Executive Director of the American Lyme Disease Foundation. Frustrated by the volume of immunological misinformation circulating on social media, she founded ImmunoLogic — a science communication platform aimed at replacing fear-driven health content with evidence-based understanding of the immune system.

Love writes the Inside Immunity column for Skeptical Inquirer Magazine and has served as WIRED's Biomedical Scientist expert for their Pseudoscience Support series. Her Substack publication, ImmunoLogic, covers the "facts, fiction, and fraud" behind immunology, vaccines, infectious disease, and related topics. She approaches science communication with a combination of professional rigor and deliberate skepticism — characterizing her own mission as closing the science literacy gap while equipping readers with critical thinking tools rather than just conclusions. Her work covers chemophobia, anti-vaccine narratives, and the mechanics of how health misinformation spreads across platforms.

Her social media presence — including Instagram, TikTok, and Substack — allows her to respond in near real-time to trending health misinformation, including detailed breakdowns of claims made by high-profile wellness influencers. She is notable as a working bench scientist who communicates publicly rather than an academic or clinician who pivoted primarily to media, giving her analysis a grounding in day-to-day laboratory and research practice.
