Our group investigates T cell immunity mostly in the context of human infectious disease. We are actively studying T cell immunity to HIV, chlamydia and HCMV infection with collaborative studies in type 1 diabetes and cancer. The goal of our research is to generate and test novel vaccines and T cell therapeutics to prevent or control human disease.
