Areas: Studying the Evolution of Animal Immunity using Echinoderms
Areas:
- Regulating the immune response
- Educating the immune system
- Recognizing microbial life
First, we investigate the regulatory mechanisms that activate and attenuate immune responses. At the same time, we characterize how these relatively conserved mechanisms are integrated with rapidly diversifying strategies for generating immune diversity.
Areas:
- Evolutionary Genetics and Systematics Core
- Host-Microbial Interactions Core
