Biography

The broader research focus of the Badovinac lab is to understand the mechanisms that govern the CD4 and CD8 T cell responses to infection and immunization. The emphasis is on exploring the pathways that are involved in antigen specific T cell homeostasis in vivo, and understanding how the manipulation of these pathways can be used to facilitate the generation and maintenance of productive memory T cell responses in health and disease, using mouse model systems and human samples.

My research here is specifically geared towards understanding CD4 T cell mediated immune regulation during total body irradiation and sepsis induced Immune dysfunction using mouse models.
