Research training faculty in other departments or sections

Philip W. Askenase, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Pathology
The mechanism(s) of initiation and regulation of T cell mediated reactions in vivo, such as delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH); how effector T cells are recruited from the intravascular space to cross the endothelial cell barrier and enter the tissues in beneficial immune responses, such as: rejection of tumors, and resistance to microorganisms, and parasites; and also in deleterious responses such as allergy and autoimmunity.

Erol Fikrig, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology and Public Health and Microbial Pathogenesis, Section Chief Infectious Diseases

Studies are directed toward understanding Lyme disease, Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, and West Nile virus.

Richard Flavell, Ph.D., Professor and Chairman of Immunobiology; HHMI Investigator
Use of transgenic and gene-targeted mice to study T-cell tolerance and activation in immunity and autoimmunity. Apoptosis; regulation of T cell differentiation.

Fred S. Kantor, M.D., Paul B. Beeson Professor of Medicine
The current laboratory research focuses on the immune response to Borrelia burgdorferi. We are studying the antigenic variability of the spirochete in the infected host, and delineating the molecular and immunologic basis for immunity against tick bite.

Mark J. Shlomchik, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Laboratory Medicine & Immunobiology
Regulation and pathogenesis of autoantibody-producing B cells in normal and autoimmune mice; B-cell memory; mechanism of graft vs host/leukemia.

Warren D. Shlomchik, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation; graft vs. host disease; Allogeneic stem cell transplantation as a curative therapy for malignant diseases, sickle cell anemia and the thalassemias, and perhaps for autoimmune diseases.
