OverviewThe Campbell Lab investigates the mechanisms underlying T cell activation, function, and tolerance. We use both animal models and human samples to identify functionally relevant populations of effector and regulatory T cells, define factors that govern their development and maintenance, and elucidate their roles in healthy immune responses as well as immune-mediated diseases, including multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, allergic diseases, and scleroderma.
