MicroRNA control of immune tolerance, autoimmunity and cancer
Our laboratory is interested in understanding the cellular and molecular immunological mechanisms of autoimmunity and cancer. Specifically, we focus on studying how microRNAs (miRNAs) and their target genes regulate immune tolerance, autoimmune diseases and antitumor immunity. In addition, we are developing innovative genome engineering strategies for therapeutic purposes.
