Our laboratory investigates the cell biological basis of inflammation and wound healing with special emphasis on leukocyte-endothelial interactions. The...

Our goal is to understand the role of neural-immune interactions in pain, host defense, and immunity. It is increasingly clear that microbes and immune...

Gut microbiota – the trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea that reside in our gut – contain a dynamic arsenal of products that can protect...

The overarching goal of the Jost lab is to define the molecular mechanisms of host-microbiome communication using a combination of systematic CRISPR...

The focus of the Kwon lab is the application of new technologies to the study of immune responses against HIV at mucosal surfaces.

Mucosal...

Chemokines, resident memory effector and regulatory cells, and tissue immunity

CD4+ T cell Tolerance

CD4+ T lymphocytes comprise a principal component of the adaptive immune system. These cells recognize processed antigens...

Symbiotic microbiota residing on the body surface (gut lumen, skin and other areas) easily outnumbers our own cells and dwarfs our genome by hundred folds...

The Smillie Lab uses systems approaches to understand the mechanisms of host-microbiome interactions. Our research interests are broad, spanning mucosal...

Assembly and signal transduction of the T cell receptor for antigen. To examine the role of the CD3 genes in thymocyte development and in T cell function...

Immunologists in the Winau Lab are most excited about the discovery of basic mechanisms that explain how the immune system functions. Over the years, we...

Harness the tools and design principles of synthetic biology to develop novel therapies that can overcome key challenges in cancer immunotherapy...

Inflammation is a protective response to noxious stimuli that originate from infections and injured tissues. The inflammatory process triggered in...
