The Early Life Development of the Immune System
The main focus of the Jain lab is to understand how immunity develops in early life. In utero, the developing fetal immune system must tolerate myriad maternal antigenic exposures including nutrients...
Research Interests
Our lab’s major focus is on the mechanisms by which both immune and non-hematopoietic (tissue resident) cells maintain immune quiescence in both alloimmunity and autoimmunity. Our work has been instrumental in determining the cytokine...
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.

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...
