A Brief Description of my Research

I'm working in division of Research Immunology/ Bone Marrow Transplantation, studying how a protein called Interleukin-7 effects cells from early progenitor cells in the bone marrow to mature T cells in the blood.  Along the way, we've done research on Graft vs. Host disease, the survival signals that effect T cells, and the genomics of IL-7 in lymphocytes. 

 

We're always looking in new directions and coming up with publications.  Here's a list of some publications that I've been involved with.  Stay tuned for some of my first-author work, coming REAL SOON.
