Results for T Regulatory Cells

Dr. Romberg investigates the regulatory mechanisms enabling our immune systems to fight infections without injuring ourselves. He is particularly interested in the immune system of patients with primary immunodeficiency who are susceptible to both life-threatening infections and autoimmune diseases. Greater insights into these rare diseases may enable rationale development of targeted therapies for more common diseases with an immunologic basis.

Dr. Tan uses experimental and computational approaches to study normal development and cancer. His laboratory is using the integrative approach to dissect the gene regulatory networks controlling embryonic hematopoiesis, T cell differentiation, and oncogenesis. He is also developing computational algorithms for constructing models of transcriptional regulatory and signaling networks by integrating multi-dimensional genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic datasets.

Dr. Samelson-Jones is a pediatric hematologist dedicated to improving the lives of children with bleeding and clotting disorders. His research focuses on gene therapy for hemophilia, the biochemical basis of coagulation, and the immune responses to hemophilia therapies.

Dr. Stachelek's research interests are in the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control vasculature inflammation.

Dr. Silverman studies the fundamental aspects of early-life commensal microbes that influence immune system development and function. He discovered that the MHC-II E molecule prevents type 1 diabetes by shaping the intestinal microbiota early in life.

Dr. Lin studies RNA modifications (a.k.a "epitranscriptomics") in human diseases, including cancer. She develops and applies high-throughput sequencing strategies and transcriptome engineering technologies to study the regulation and function of RNA modifications, including A-to-I RNA editing and m6A RNA methylation.

Dr. Kelly’s research career began with deciphering the genetic basis of inborn errors in metabolism in children, followed by a series of breakthrough discoveries relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of common forms of heart failure in the general population.

Dr. Gonzalez-Alegre's long-range research goal is to advance the application of precision medicine in the neurology clinic. His research focus revolves around genetic disorders that affect the brain, spanning from the diagnosis of novel genetic disease in the clinic to the identification of novel molecular targets using disease models and the design of early-phase human clinical trials.

Dr. Sengupta is a neonatologist and physician scientist with a long-standing interest in lung health. She studies the mechanisms of circadian regulation of lung inflammation, injury, and repair; and the effect of early life exposures on development and function of pulmonary circadian networks in adulthood.

Dr. Fitzgerald's research focuses on the impact of pediatric sepsis on renal dysfunction. She examines biomarkers that may be helpful in predicting renal dysfunction in septic acute kidney injury, and the impact of resuscitative therapies and pharmacometrics in sepsis on the development of sepsis-related renal dysfunction.
