Our laboratory focuses on the role of antigen presentation in the generation of anti-tumor immune responses and autoimmunity, using mouse models, cell culture systems, and patient samples. Ongoing projects involve the role of the MHC class II processing pathway in the development of T cell tolerance in mouse models of melanoma and autoimmune vitiligo and the evaluation of MHC class II-restricted presentation in human melanoma and lymphoma.
The University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix is at the center of tremendous biomedical growth that will take place in Phoenix in the coming years. My laboratory is located in a new state-of-the-art research building with core equipment facilities such as a BD LSRII flow cytometer. The atmosphere is highly collaborative, and the laboratory interacts with local researchers at the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale and the University of Arizona in Tucson, as well as scientists at the University of California San Francisco and Yale University.
