Abstract
My group is interested in how immune cells change from one state into another during an immune response. For example, CD4+ T cells can modify themselves to preserve memories of previous infections. To map this process at genome scale we employed single-cell RNA-seq, single-cell ATAC-seq and computational modelling in murine models of Plasmodium infection and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
