Our lab investigates the mechanisms of immunity and immunopathogenesis during infections, aging, and inflammatory disorders in humans. We use cellular immunology techniques such as flow cytometry of clinical samples and in vitro cultures to better understand how pathogens and chronic inflammation contribute to the activation, expansion, maintenance, and trafficking of T cells and monocytes and how these cells contribute to infection-associated immunopathology and comorbidities in people living with HIV.
