Our lab works in the broad fields of T cell differentiation, immunological tolerance, autoimmunity and inflammation, translating mechanistic studies on mouse models to normal and diseased humans. Studies on T cell differentiation focus on maturation and...

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 Hacohen lab consists of immunologists, geneticists, biochemists, technologists, physicians and computational biologists working together to develop new and unbiased technologies and strategies to understand basic immune processes and immune-mediated...
The broad focus of the Alt lab is the elucidation of mechanisms that generate antigen receptor diversity in the Immune system and mechanisms that maintain genomic stability in mammalian cells. Over the past decade we have developed remarkably sensitive...
The Garrett Lab is interested in defining the dynamic interactions between the mucosal immune system and gut microbiota. Our experimental questions are grounded in understanding how interactions between intestinal microbial communities and the immune...

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...
