Project: Dissecting the role of tissue regulatory T cells in the development of memory T cells during infection and cancer.
Kallies Group
In this project, we will dissect the contribution of various tissue T regulatory subsets in mucosal and non-lymphoid tissues in the development of memory T cells during infection, metabolic disease and cancer.

Our group has done pioneering work in understanding the role of immune cells in infection, metabolic diseases and cancer. In particular, our laboratory has discovered key molecules and pathways that regulate the differentiation and function of immune cells such as regulatory T cells, CD8+ T cells and B cells in viral infection, cancer and type 2 diabetes.
