Featured Content
Our long-term interest lies in elucidating the mechanisms that govern CD8 T cell responses after infection and/or immunization. We are interested in exploring the pathways that are involved in Ag-specific CD8 T cell homeostasis in vivo and exploring how the manipulation of these pathways can be used to facilitate the generation and maintenance of productive memory CD8 T cell responses in health and disease.
We are also investigating the sepsis-induced state of immunoparalysis and exploring treatments to restore/improve immunity in sepsis survivors.
The Badovinac lab is currently seeking highly skilled Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars to conduct cutting-edge research on T cell immunity after various types of infections and/or immunizations. Sepsis centered research based on experimental mouse models and human patients samples is priority.
