Research Focus
The Antigen Presentation and Immunoregulation Laboratory investigates the contribution of donor and host antigen presenting cells (APCs) to immune responses following bone marrow stem cell transplantation.
Basic research in immunology using preclinical models follows three streams: APC development, antigen presentation, and APC induced T cell responses and their regulation.
Research Projects
