Cyster, Jason, PhD

"Molecular Regulation of Cell Migration and Survival in Lymphoid Tissues"
Dr. Cyster is focused on defining the molecular cues that guide leukocyte migration in secondary lymphoid organs, and on determining how cell position influences cell fate. These investigations have implications for understanding how immune function and self-tolerance are maintained in healthy individuals, and how these processes break down in states of autoimmunity or hematopoietic malignancy.
