Understanding Immunobiology of diseases associated with T Cell Dysfunctionality

 

Research Interests

Immunobiology of diseases associated with an abnormal T cell Immunity: Immune system is a physiological system dedicated to protective function. Under disease conditions, specialized components of the immune system respond to restore homeostasis. Nonetheless, immune dysfunction is a characteristic of different clinically relevant diseases. In this context, I am focusing on diseases associated with defective cell-mediated immunity with possible defects originating in the periphery and/or thymus. The thymus is the organ dedicated to normal T cell development and maturation. Dissecting out changes induced in thymus functionality under disease conditions can help in understanding the rationale behind an altered peripheral cell-mediated immune response in the context of specific disease models. Leads from the work on human diseases with T cell abnormalities are further worked out in animal models  in a reverse translational approach to answer the molecular basis of disease-associated T cell alterations in terms of peripheral dysregulation and possible involvement of thymus centric defects directly or indirectly affecting the peripheral T cell immunity. Ongoing projects focus on T cell-associated infectious disease, Leishmaniasis, and autoimmune disease, Psoriasis. I am also interested in understanding immune dysregulation associated with neuronal diseases and different pathophysiological conditions like Cancer and Aging. Long term goal of our research group is to understand the T cell defects in different disease models and come up with knowledge-driven strategies for immune-reconstitution, immune-therapeutics and T cell centric regenerative medicine.
