    • Research Description

    Studies in my lab focus on defining T cell responses to allergens using human-based in vitro systems. Ongoing projects include: Mechanisms of T Cell Dysregulation in Severe Allergic Disease; Investigation of the Immunomodulatory Properties of Novel Allergen Molecules Which Target Antigen Presenting Cells; Analysis of the Mechanism of Action of the Th2-Promoting Cytokine, TSLP, in Allergic Individuals.
