Antibody responses are of central importance in the immune responses, yet we are still unable to confidently predict antibody responses. As a physician-scientist, my long-term goal is to understand the T cell determinants of antibody responses as well as its potential in guiding clinical decision-making. Since joining NYU as a faculty member in the NYU Vaccine Center, I have worked to develop the tools and ability to conduct clinically relevant immunology research in order to understand CD4 T cell control of B cell responses. I pair my clinical training in Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases with bench research training in immunology to develop a framework to address questions about T follicular helper CD4 T cell (Tfh) and B cell biology.
