Award to WEILL MEDICAL COLL OF CORNELL UNIV by NIAID to study immune tolerance mechanisms involving mononuclear phagocytes and T-cell responses using advanced sequencing and cell transfer techniques.
Description
This project aims to understand how immune tolerance to microbes is established during early life, focusing on mononuclear phagocytes and T-cell responses. The work involves single-cell RNA sequencing and adoptive monocyte transfer to elucidate cell fate regulation over the lifespan.
