WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY

We are based in the Wayne State University School of Medicine and the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. Immunological concepts and technologies are integral to our work. We also collaborate with many scientists and clinicians in the academia and the industry... Currently, we are focusing on understanding the processes of antibody diversification and production by B lymphocytes and how the regulation of such processes are defective in human immunodeficiencies, autoimmune diseases and cancer... We want to understand the immunological interaction between the mother and the fetus during pregnancy and early infancy, i.e., how changes in the mother's immune system, such as those seen in infections, allergies and cancer, impact fetal development and contribute to neonatal diseases.
