Current Position: Staff Development Scientist, ManagerStaff Development Scientist, Manager Beckman Coulter, Minneapolis, MN

Fellowship dates: 2007-2010
Research Emphasis: Kruppel-like factor 2 is required for trafficking but not quiescence in postactivated T cells., Naive T cell homeostasis: from awareness of space to a sense of place, Self-class I MHC molecules support survival of naive CD8 T cells, but depress their functional sensitivity through regulation of CD8 expression levels.

Fellowship dates: 1996-2000
Research Emphasis: The impact of duration versus extent of TCR occupancy on T cell activation: a revision of the kinetic proofreading model.

Fellowship dates: 2014-2018
Research Emphasis:  Studied the killer cells of the adaptive immune system: CD8 T cells to understand how we can tweak the CD8 T cell response in order to generate the most potent, effective, and long-lasting immune responses against infections and cancer.

Fellowship dates: 2009-13
Research Emphasis:  Keeping STATs on memory CD8+ T cells., and Effector-like CD8⁺ T cells in the memory population mediate potent protective immunity.

Advisor: Stephen Jameson

Fellowship dates: 2008-2011
Research Emphasis:  Evaluated the role of lymphopenia on memory CD8 T cell generation and function. Acute ablation of Langerhans cells enhances skin immune responses. and Cholera toxin activates nonconventional adjuvant pathways that induce protective CD8 T-cell responses after epicutaneous vaccination.
