Current Research
Our research focuses on the biology and function of T cells. We are investigating the generation and maintenance of memory CD8+ T cells at both cellular and molecular levels, and in response to vaccination. We are also studying the presence and influence of different T cell subsets in colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease patients.
