Funded Activity Summary

Inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease and asthma are caused by unregulated white blood cells called CD4 T cells. Why certain people develop hyperactive CD4 T cells is not clear but a understanding how CD4 T cells are regulated will help inform future therapies. Our research focuses on one enzyme called G9a that modifies proteins that control immune cell function. Our goal is to define the role of this enzyme in inflammation to aid in drug development.
