- Stem Cell Mobilization and Collection
- Immunological Aspects of Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD)
- Transplant Immunology
- Photopheresis
My research is focused on determining the role T regulatory cells play in ameliorating graft versus host disease. There is evidence in mouse models that suggests Treg cells play a role in the prevention of GVHD but in humans their role has not been clearly defined. In addition to quantifying the number of Tregs in the peripheral blood of patients with GHVD, we are developing methods to assess them in tissues, such as skin, that are affected by the disease.
