Immunobiology

Faculty Labs

The Alenghat Lab investigates epithelial and immune cell homeostasis in the context of intestinal health and disease.

The Divanovic Lab focuses on the role of immune response in inflammation and metabolism.

Grimes Lab's goal is to provide fundamental biological and molecular insight into these diseases, and to illustrate new avenues to therapeutic intervention.

The Herr Lab's focuses on mechanistic studies of cellular adhesion and receptor-mediated signaling in immunology and microbiology

The Herro Lab studies fibrotic diseases of the lungs (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, neutrophilic asthma, systemic sclerosis, cancerous scleroderma), skin (atopic dermatitis, psoriasis), liver (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, hepatotoxicant toxicant-driven injury), and gut.

The Hildeman Lab studies the molecular mechanisms controlling T cell development and homeostasis.

The research in the Lewkowich Lab focuses on identifying the mechanisms through which IL-17A can enhance the severity of allergic asthma.

The Majer Lab studies how the immune system mounts effective defenses against infection while avoiding excessive inflammation and tissue damage.

The Miraldi lab’s focus is mathematical modeling of the immune system from high-dimensional genomics measurements.

The Pasare Lab focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of activation of the innate immune system and its impact on inflammation and adaptive immunity.

The Tilburgs Lab investigates how maternal immune cells establish immune tolerance to fetal and placental allo-antigens and remain competent to respond to infections both systemically and in placental tissues.
