A major area of our interest is how eukaryotic cells sense and respond to stress in the form of damage to their genetic material. When cells incur DNA damage, they induce the transcription of genes involved in cell cycle arrest and repair of the damage...
The major scientific interest of the Butovsky lab is to understand the biology of resident microglia and peripheral innate immunity in brain homeostasis and neurodegenerative conditions. The ultimate goal is to identify microglia- and monocyte-based...
Research in the Sage Lab focuses on understanding how the immune system regulates B cell responses and antibody production. Antibodies clear harmful pathogens and mediate protection elicited by vaccination. However, dysregulation of antibody responses can...
The major interest of the Sharpe laboratory is to study functions of T cell costimulatory pathways and their immunoregulatory roles in controlling the balance between T cell activation and tolerance. Costimulation is of therapeutic interest because...
My laboratory is interested in the rapid response of endothelial cells and blood cells to vascular injury. We have shown that endothelial cells store adhesion proteins, von Willebrand factor and P-selectin, in storage granules called Weibel-Palade bodies...
Immune cells play important roles in retinal vascular development/remodeling/repair and degeneration. Immune dysregulation during these processes in the eye leads to diseases such as retinopathy of prematurity and age-related macular degeneration. Our...
My research focuses on understanding mechanisms of tumor progression from early precursor conditions such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering myeloma (SMM) to symptomatic Multiple Myeloma (MM). I specifically focus...
My laboratory focuses on the study of tissue resident T cells in humans. We isolate and study the T cells in human lung, cervix, decidua and gastrointestinal tract but we have a particular interest in T cells at home to and reside within the skin.
Our...
The Cantor lab studies the development and function of T-cell subsets. Early studies indicated that the thymus gave rise to two major lineages of T cells that recognized the MHC class II and class I molecules and were equipped to mediate distinct...
