Fellowship dates: 2017-2021
Research Emphasis: Investigating mechanisms controlling generation and maintenance of peripheral T cell tolerance. Researching role of tolerant CD8 T cells in regulating autoimmunity and cancer. Understanding autoimmunity in the context of hygiene hypothesis.
Fellowship dates: 2017-2021
Research Emphasis: The challenge in rheumatoid arthritis is different in that the autoimmune process is driven by peptides that are chemically modified (e.g. citrullinated). In my research, I will use MHC tetramers to identify and characterize pathogenic T-cells in patients with antibody mediated rejection of lung transplant as well as rheumatoid arthritis.
Fellowship dates: 2015-2022
Research Emphasis: Using adoptive cell transfer and p:MHCII-tetramer enrichment with I have demonstrated important mechanisms programing CD4 T helper-1 cells during acute and persistent infections.
Fellowship dates: 1996-2002
Fellowship dates: 2004-2008
Research Emphasis: The p110gamma isoform of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulates migration of effector CD4 T lymphocytes into peripheral inflammatory sites.

Research Emphasis: ADAP regulates cell cycle progression of T cells via control of cyclin E and Cdk2 expression through two distinct CARMA1-dependent signaling pathways., NF-kappaB activation in T cells requires discrete control of IkappaB kinase alpha/beta (IKKalpha/beta) phosphorylation and IKKgamma ubiquitination by the ADAP adapter protein.,
