Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
Our laboratory's goal is to address fundamental and therapeutic questions in immunology using innovative nanotechnological and biophysical approaches to visualize and manipulate cells. Our primary focus is on understanding the molecular controls that balance T cell activation versus tolerance. The ultimate aim of our work is to manipulate T cell signaling pathways to control immunologically-mediated diseases.
Projects in the lab include:
1) Atomic force microscopy of T cells
2) Mechanobiology of biomaterials, cardiac cells, endothelial cells, and cancers
3) Discovery and characterization of new inhibitory pathways of T cells
4) High resolution visualization of receptor and ligands in the T cell immunological synapse
5) Manipulation of single-receptors on T cells to control activation versus tolerance
6) Development of diagnostic tools for immune monitoring and autoimmune diseases (such as Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis)
7) Characterization of self-like antigens and their roles in autoimmunity (in multiple sclerosis and Type 1 diabetes)
