Carpenter Lab
In the Carpenter Lab, our research team is focused on understanding how the response of the immune system to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and other infectious pathogens leads to chronic infection.
About Us
The goal of our lab is to identify protective immune pathways and antigens that will contribute to tuberculosis vaccine development.
Our Work
Discover our research regarding how human memory T cells from vaccinated or latently-infected individuals respond to autologous macrophages infected with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Our People
We are a diverse group of researchers and trainees who seek to better understand immune responses to chronic infection.
