Samita S Andreansky, Ph.D.
Research Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
We study the consequences of immune suppression on adaptive immunity using both viral and tumor specific models. Our goal is to design effective vaccines against breast cancer and pathogens such as influenza and herpes viruses.

Glen N Barber, Ph.D.
Professor of Medicine, Eugenia J. Dodson Chair in Cancer Research, and Associate Director of Basic Science
"Our laboratory is interested in understanding mechanisms of innate immunity to viral infection and malignant disease. Gaining insight into mechanisms of the innate immune process affords the opportunity of developing translational research programs involving the design of novel vaccines and therapeutics, to combat disease."

Savita Pahwa, M.D.
Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, Director, HIV Pathogenesis
Our group is interested in the immunopathogenesis of HIV infection for the understanding of the nature and mechanisms of immune dysfunction in HIV infected pediatric and adult patients. We hope that our studies will help in developing strategies for immune reconstitution, and for aborting disease progression in HIV infected subjects.
