Research Interests

The major aim of my research is to characterize the mechanisms by which members of the TNF receptor family deliver signals to cells of the immune system. Members of this interesting and growing family of receptors regulate cellular activation, differentiation, and programmed cell death in a wide variety of cell types. While these proteins appear to share many intracellular signaling molecules, each receptor delivers its own unique signals. Characterizing the signaling pathways involved will potentially lead to novel ways of modulating immune activation in infection, cancer, graft rejection, and autoimmunity.
