Fellowship dates: 1995-1999
Research Emphasis: Identification of a proline-rich sequence in the CD2 cytoplasmic domain critical for regulation of integrin-mediated adhesion and activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
Fellowship dates: 1999-2002
Research Emphasis: Control of TCR-mediated activation of beta 1 integrins by the ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase interdomain B region and the linker for activation of T cells adapter protein.

Fellowship dates: 1999-2004
Research Emphasis: Measured effect of kinase-dead or dominant negative PKC constructs on static adhesion of T cells. Determined localization of PKCmu in response to stimulation by confocal microscopy. Isolation of PKCmu binding partners by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting.
Fellowship dates: 1998-2000
Research Emphasis: Regulation of beta 1 integrin-mediated adhesion by T cell receptor signaling involves ZAP-70 but differs from signaling events that regulate transcriptional activity., Protein kinase D1 and the beta 1 integrin cytoplasmic domain control beta 1 integrin function via regulation of Rap1 activation.
Fellowship dates: 1998-1999
Research Emphasis: Cutting edge: T cell migration regulated by CXCR4 chemokine receptor signaling to ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase.
