Jameson Lab

Graduate Students and Post Doctoral Fellows in the lab are working on research that is focused on CD8 T cell responses against pathogens, but we also study CD4 T cells and B cells. We look at the protective immunity by CD8 T cells, the function of Kruppel-like factors in  T and B cells and the homeostatic mechanisms regulating naïve T cell responses.
