Mentor Areas

We focus on understanding the role of T cell dysfunction in chronic allergic and inflammatory disease, including asthma and obesity, as well as rare, monogenic primary immunodeficiency. To this end, the team uses complementary approaches in humans and mice, leveraging detailed immunophenotyping and metabolic characterization of immune dysfunction in patients to identify mechanistic hypotheses to test in mouse models and human cells in vitro.
