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.
