Taku Kambayashi, MD, PhD
Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (Penn Medicine)
Our lab focuses on signal transduction pathways employed by cells involved in fundamental immunological processes and in immune-related disorders. We aim to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of these processes so that we can identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention or for diagnostic/prognostic value.
Research interests: Regulation of T cell responses; Signal transduction; regulatory T cell expansion and homeostasis; Regulation of skin barrier function
