The lab studies γδ T cells in humans and mice, and the transcriptional programs that control the individual γδ T cell subsets. It may be beneficial to understand what governs their cytokine production, namely IFNg and IL-17 at time of inflammation, such as in the skin, or in tumors.
One key aspect of our research is to understand the effects of obesity on immune surveillance, and the effects of the immune system on obesity. The global obesity epidemic and the realization that chronic, low-grade inflammation is a characteristic feature of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease triggered a massive surge […]
