Research Interests

Work in my lab focuses on CD4+ T lymphocyte activation and subset differentiation.

We have 2 basic Research Areas:

     1. The biological consequences for individual T cells of signaling induced by APC-derived membrane molecules after their transfer to T cells at the T-APC immunological synapse, a process termed “trogocytosis”.

     2. The impact of the herbicide Atrazine on the activation of CD4+ T cells and the mechanism underlying a significant increase in Foxp3+ regulatory T cells
