Host Response

We are interested in how innate T cells glycoproteins regulate immune responses. Specifically, we are investigating how natural killer T cells contribute to immunological tolerance using models of graft-vs-host disease, and we are using viral infection models (including EBV and HIV) to investigate how they switch over to promote inflammatory responses.
