RESEARCH SUMMARY

The interest of our laboratory is to combine fundamental and translational approaches in order to (1) Elucidate the metabolic mechanisms regulating T cell differentiation and anti-tumor effector responses, (2) Define the elements in the thymus microenvironment that enhance thymocyte differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), (3) Understand the metabolic regulation of tumor growth and its impact on HSC differentiation, and (4) Develop novel immunotherapy strategies for the treatment of pediatric cancer and  immunodeficiency patients.

Areas of Expertise
