The Wheeler Lab investigates how immune system interactions with the nervous system influence behavior, inflammation, and tissue plasticity in the brain and peripheral organs. Our research spans three major themes:
(1) Immune and nervous system...
This laboratory's area of research involves studies of autoimmunity in models of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, arthritis and diabetes in the NOD mouse. We are also investigating immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis, models of Alzheimer's...
The broad interest of the WAGERS LAB is to identify and analyze tissue-specific stem cell populations in adult animals. This work focuses on understanding the factors controlling the migration and expansion of bone marrow-derived and blood-forming...
My laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms of innate immunity and inflammation leading to tissue destruction. More specifically, we are investigating the attack mechanisms instrumental in targeted tissues for autoimmune destruction. Conversely, we...
The human intestine is exposed to a vast array of molecules from the microbiome, diet, and pathogens. The Nagashima lab focuses on three branches of research topics, all of which attempt to understand the gut immune system at the level of molecular...
Our group studies how cell migration organizes the communication between the innate and the adaptive immune systems. Specifically, we are interested in understanding how T lymphocytes traffic between lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues and position...
In the Kuchroo laboratory, our overarching goal is elucidating the mechanisms that regulate immune functions in health, aging and different disease contexts. We focus on the functions of different CD4+ T helper subsets, and the role of costimulatory...
The core mission of The Majzner Laboratory is to leverage discoveries in basic immunology and cancer biology to develop and test new immunotherapeutics in children and adults with cancer. Our research program focuses on three core areas: 1) Developing...
Research focus of my lab is to use novel synthetic biology approaches to manipulate conventional and memory-like Natural Killer (NK) cells to enhance their anti-tumor function. Using advanced CRISPR and non-CRISPR based gene editing approaches we are...
