Tracing control mechanisms of mucosal immunity in health and disease
FY 2015-16
Summary
The goals of this research program are to identify control mechanisms of mucosal immunity in human health and disease. Due their central role in immunity at barrier surfaces we specifically investigate mechanisms that regulate innate lymphoid cells and B lineage cells. In doing so, we will identify novel biomarkers and provide critical insights to inform strategies for improving immune memory (vaccines) and immunotherapy of human disease (mucosal infections, chronic inflammatory barrier disorders).
