In my lab we wish to understand the mechanisms that drive the generation of efficient memory T cells. Our interest is focused on elucidating the TCR-dependent signals that regulate memory T cell development and on studying the role of innate immunity in modulating the quantity and quality of T cell mediated immunity. As memory T cells are crucial in controlling infections and tumors, the goal is to use this information to improve tumor and vaccine immunotherapies.
