Your generous support of the Transplantation Research Lab helps scientists to discover new treatments and cures for transplant organ rejection.
Discovering novel immunotherapies through innovative translational research
_140x114.jpg)
The immune system safeguards our
bodies against infections and cancers, but also causes autoimmuine
diseases and rejection of transplanted organs. One of the
fundamental properties of the immune system is the ability to
regulate its own activities; this self-control prevents it from
attacking healthy tissues and compels it to contract after
successful elimination of the eliciting pathogens. Our
research seeks to better understand the mechanisms of
immunoregulation, with the hopes of applying it to the prevention
of transplant rejection and diabetes.
