The Humoral Immunity Autoimmunity Group is investigating the cellular and molecular events that regulate production and selection versus elimination of memory B cells, which is of critical importance to understand how best to harness immune responses against infection, and to mitigate against autoimmunity. Our team has recently discovered the roquin gene, a key piece in what appears to be a crucial pathway for repressing formation of lupus autoantibodies and development of diseases resembling type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Our research aims to illuminate the cause of these diseases and identify more specific and effective therapeutic approaches.
