RESEARCH SUMMARY

My current research on alarmins focuses on three major areas: 1) identification of additional alarmins, 2) elucidation of the mechanism(s) by which various alarmins chemoattract and activate dendritic cells (DCs), and 2) testing the potential use of alarmins as adjuvants for experimental tumor immunotherapy.
