Studies of the humoral immune response.
The humoral immune response arises from a complex choreography of cells and molecules that interact to produce lasting and effective defenses against pathogens. For more than fifteen years, our laboratory has studied how humoral responses are initiated, how they mature, and how they are remembered. This work has come from many hands and in this brief synopsis, I cannot provide the full recognition that my students, postdoctoral fellows, and collaborators merit. I hope that my colleagues can accept this translucence and know that their efforts are recognized and deeply appreciated, nonetheless.
