Research Emphasis: Tissue resident memory CD8 T cells (Trm) are present throughout non-lymphoid tissues of the body, poised to rapidly detect and activate upon pathogen re-encounter. I am investigating the mechanisms by which reactivated Trm create a potent immunostimulatory environment within local tissue, and how this can be harnessed as a potential cancer immunotherapy.

Fellowship dates: 2017-20
Research Emphasis: Studied the establishment and function of CD4+ resident memory T cells in response to viral exposure at mucosal barrier tissues.
