Research

My research in Badovinac lab focuses on understanding CD4 T cell mediated immune regulation during Radiation and sepsis induced Immune dysfunction.

About Shravan:

Apart from the lab, I enjoy brewing different kinds of coffee, motorcycle trips and travel. I also love biking, hiking, and everything outdoors.
