Funded Activity Summary

Whole-body analysis of human tissue-resident memory T cells. T cells provide critical immune protection against infection and cancer, and dysfunctional T cells cause autoimmune disease. Much of our understanding of T cells comes from studies of mice and how these immune cells work in humans is not fully understood. This project aims to determine how human T cells persist and function using a unique organ donor tissue resource. The expected outcomes are to generate fundamental new knowledge about the regulation of the human immune response. This knowledge is critical for the development of vaccines and immunotherapies designed to harness T cell immunity.
