    Stephen J. Galli, MD

    Mary Hewitt Loveless, MD, Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Pathology and of Microbiology and Immunology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe goals of Dr. Galli's laboratory are to understand the regulation of mast cell and basophil development and function, and to develop and use genetic approaches to elucidate the roles of these cells in health and disease. We study both the roles of mast cells, basophils, and IgE in normal physiology and host defense, e.g., in responses to parasites and in enhancing resistance to venoms, and also their roles in pathology, e.g., anaphylaxis, food allergy, and asthma, both in mice and humans.

    Chris Garcia

    Younger Family Professor and Professor of Structural Biology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsStructural and functional studies of transmembrane receptor interactions with their ligands in systems relevant to human health and disease - primarily in immunity, infection, and neurobiology. We study these problems using protein engineering, structural, biochemical, and combinatorial biology approaches.

    Zinaida Good, Ph.D.

    Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory integrates cutting-edge synthetic biology, immunology, and machine learning to engineer T cell therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases. We have 3 research areas:
    - Analysis of clinical single-cell and spatial transcriptomics datasets from T cell therapy trials to identify mechanisms of resistance
    - Building AI systems to generate T cell designs predicted to improve patient outcomes
    - Genetic screens of novel T cell designs in models that mimic key mechanisms of resistance
