Engineering HLA-DQ–specific CAR Tregs to selectively suppress anti-donor immune responses at sites of graft inflammation, this project seeks a more precise, durable alternative to broad immunosuppression in transplantation.
Exploiting a newly discovered PD-1 dimerization mechanism, this project engineers monoclonal antibodies to more effectively suppress overactive T cells — offering a novel immune tolerance strategy for autoimmune diseases.
Mapping the full antigenic landscape of Sjögren's disease using T-Scan technology to identify the drivers of autoimmune T cell responses and enable targeted therapies.
Investigating the autoimmune and immune dysregulation mechanisms underlying Long COVID to improve diagnosis, treatment, and biological understanding of persistent symptoms.
Identifying GSPT1 as an essential, targetable vulnerability of skin-resident memory T cells to enable durable remission in chronic inflammatory skin diseases without systemic immunosuppression.
Building the largest cerebrospinal fluid immune profile dataset in pediatric autoimmune neurological diseases to enable faster, more accurate diagnosis of MS and related conditions.
