Research Interests
I work in collaboration with Dr. Kenneth Murphy in the Pathology and Immunology Department at Washington University School of Medicine. Our current emphasis is on the development of dendritic cells and lymphocyte subsets. We study how the immune system selects the correct immune response to pathogens and how dendritic cells function in tumor rejection.
