Antczak, Douglas F.

V.M.D., Ph.D. | Comparative studies of the Major Histocompatibility Complex, Fetal-maternal interactions in early pregnancy, Trophoblast development, and immunology of infectious diseases.

Appleton, Judith A.

Ph.D. | Mechanisms of antibody mediated immunity to viruses and parasites colonizing mucosal surfaces. Immune regulation of antibody production during infection and vaccination

Bynoe, Margaret

Ph.D. | The focus of my lab is to study the molecular basis of antigen induced immune suppression and the modulation of the innate immune system response in autoimmune diseases and immunity against cancer.

Clark, Theodore G.

Ph.D. | Infectious Diseases: Cutaneous immunity, host-parasite interactions, DNA vaccines, genetic factors underlying resistance to infectious disease

Denkers, Eric Y.

Ph.D. | Infectious Diseases; Cellular & Molecular Medicine: Cellular and molecular basis of immunity to intracellular parasites; cytokine control of infection

Dietert, Rodney D.

Ph.D. | Immunotoxicology and environmental immunology. The influence of both environmental contaminants and specific dietary factors on immune capabilities is examined within the context of fundamental research. In addition the feasibility of employing more effective immune assessment strategies for environmental monitoring is an interest of the laboratory.
