Research Interest

Our lab works in the field of immunology and human disease, with a focus on immune regulation and exosome biology.

• Exosome-Mediated Immune Modulation: Studying how exosomes influence immune signaling and regulate inflammation and tolerance. 

• T Cell Regulation in Disease: Investigating the behavior and modulation of T cells in inflammatory and disease contexts. 

• Treg Function and Stability: Exploring mechanisms controlling Treg development, suppressive function, and dysfunction in disease.
