Modulation of T Cell Signaling by ITK.
Immunology Interest Group Leslie Berg is a Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Massachusetts and the Director of graduate program in Microbiology and Immunology, who is well known for her key studies in T lymphocyte signaling. While a postdoctoral fellow with Mark Davis, she generated the first Class II-specific TCR transgenic mice and used them for seminal studies on thymic selection. As an Assistant Professor, she cloned out a series of tyrosine kinases expressed in T cells including Jak3 and Itk. Through the generation and study of gene-targeted mice that lack these ki...

Coupling Single-Cell RNA-seq with Tracking of Regulatory Determinants Reveals Rare Hematopoietic Transition States.
Dr. Grimes received his Ph.D. in Molecular Pathology and Immunology studying gene regulation with Maureen Goodenow at the University of Florida, then joined Philip Tsichlis at Fox Chase Cancer Center, cloning novel genes activated by insertion mutagenesis (e.g. Akt, Tpl2). He has a broad background in hematopoiesis, molecular biology, and molecular oncology including modeling of hematopoiesis, myelopoiesis and leukemia. His work on the Growth factor independent-1 (Gfi1) transcriptional repressor protein has spanned the initial identification of Gfi1 in a model of leukemia and the role of Gfi1 in normal myeloid biology, to ...
