Immunology
RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
The work in my lab focuses on basic immunology, inflammation, and autoimmunity, which enhances the immunology focus group, especially since the majority of members study immunology related to microbiology or cancer. We also study how the citrullinating enzymes PAD2 and PAD4 impact immune cells and inflammation. Since these enzymes are also involved with transcriptional regulation, our work has a secondary focus in molecular biology.
