Fellowship dates: 1993-1996
Research Emphasis:  Use of a beta1 integrin-deficient human T cell to identify beta1 integrin cytoplasmic domain sequences critical for integrin function., T-lymphocyte interactions with endothelium and extracellular matrix.

Fellowship dates: 1999-2002
Research Emphasis: Control of TCR-mediated activation of beta 1 integrins by the ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase interdomain B region and the linker for activation of T cells adapter protein.

Fellowship dates: 1999-2004
Research Emphasis:  Measured effect of kinase-dead or dominant negative PKC constructs on static adhesion of T cells. Determined localization of PKCmu in response to stimulation by confocal microscopy. Isolation of PKCmu binding partners by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting.

Fellowship dates: 1998-2000
Research Emphasis: Regulation of beta 1 integrin-mediated adhesion by T cell receptor signaling involves ZAP-70 but differs from signaling events that regulate transcriptional activity., Protein kinase D1 and the beta 1 integrin cytoplasmic domain control beta 1 integrin function via regulation of Rap1 activation.

Fellowship dates: 1998-1999
Research Emphasis:  Cutting edge: T cell migration regulated by CXCR4 chemokine receptor signaling to ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase.

Fellowship dates: 1996-2000
Research Emphasis:  Stimulation of beta1-integrin function by epidermal growth factor and heregulin-beta has distinct requirements for erbB2 but a similar dependence on phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase.

Fellowship dates: 2017-2021

Fellowship dates: 2013-15
Research Emphasis:  Studied the immunologic responses in pregnancy.  Specifically, she was interested in whether genetic variations in the PTPN22 gene impart discrepancies in immunologic markers, as well as clinical outcomes, in pregnant women given the influenza vaccine.
