Research Interest

Our research focuses on various aspects of signal transduction in cells in general, and in T lymphocytes in particular. Studying mechanisms by which specific effector molecules regulate T cell activation, proliferation and differentiation will enable the design of new therapeutic modalities for attenuating undesired inflammatory responses and inhibit the growth of leukemic T cells.
