The principal goal of the research group is to understand the role of cutaneous T cells in skin inflammation and cancer. We utilize organotypic 3D skin and skin tumor cultures, mouse models of T cell-mediated skin inflammation, and skin and tumor tissue xenografting mouse models to elucidate inflammatory mechanisms and to perform preclinical studies.
