Research Summary
Our lab studies how immune cells make fate decisions, both as they develop from stem cells, and as they respond to antigens. To understand the molecular circuitry controlling immune cell fate choice, we follow its dynamic behavior at the single-cell level using live imaging, uncover its molecular components using modern genetic, biochemical and high-throughput approaches, and elucidate underlying design principles using mathematical modeling. Through this work, we aim to lay foundations for engineering immune cells to fight disease.
