Research Interests: Autoimmunity, Infectious Diseases, Inflammation, Cancer Immunology, Transplantation and Tolerance, Cell and Developmental Biology of the Immune System

 

Research Description: I am interested in the cellular and molecular processes that regulate immunity to foreign pathogens, as well as tolerance to self antigens. Relevant to these topics are the developmental processes that give rise to immunological mechanisms.
