Matthew Krummel, PhD
Research and Clinical Interests
Our research projects are aimed at understanding the molecular regulation of lymphocyte activation. We use real-time microscopic methods to image the dynamic movement of lymphocyte receptors during antigen recognition. We are also examining cell-cell interactions during immune responses against tumors.
