RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:

Ken Murphy's laboratory studies the development and function of various immune lineages that contribute to immune responses, particulary T cell–dependent immune responses to intracellular pathogens. His lab is currently interested in understanding the development of dendritic cells into the several specialized lineages that underlie divergent T cell differentiation in response to varied pathogens.
