The Division of Immunology has a long track record of cutting edge research in allergic and immunological mechanisms and is recognized world-wide for work on IgE regulation, Current areas of basic research include:
- Pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis
- Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP) and associated molecules
- Signal transduction by the T cell receptor, the role of SLP-76
- Regulation of IgE production
- Roles of IgE in allergic pathogenesis and parasite immunity
- TRAF functions in TNF receptor family signaling
