The human immune system is a vast, interconnected network, yet most studies only look at one piece of the puzzle. Our lab is building a comprehensive systems-level map to predict [...]
Current antibody assays are akin to viewing the Earth from 30,000 feet: You can see the broad landscape, but not the fine details. We are bringing the view of the [...]
Influenza vaccine responses are highly heterogeneous, eliciting strong and durable immunity in some but little-to-no response in others. Our lab is bridging the gap between infant, adult, and elderly immunology [...]
As the mechanistic principles guiding tissue immunity unfold, the Reina Laboratory will focus on leveraging immune engineering technologies to enhance CD8 T cell functions in disease settings to unlock the [...]
Spatial transcriptomics at single-molecule resolution allows in situ measurements of hundreds to thousands of genes in large areas of tissues, allowing an unprecedented view into the secret life of TRM. [...]
Long-term tissue residency is a complex, context-dependent challenge requiring specific cellular adaptation strategies. Our recent work has identified common metabolic adaptations that empower CD8 T cell tissue residency and anti-tumor [...]
