Research Interests

The overall goal of my research is to understand how T-cell responses are regulated in homeostatic conditions and how perturbations (genetic, environmental, parasitic) alter their effect. By studying T cell responses using genetic models we can learn not only about a specific disorder, but also discover unknown factors that regulate the immune system and reveal molecular and cellular mechanisms for T cell therapy in multiple settings: neurodegeneration, autoimmunity, cancer, infection.
