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.
