Department Details

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher to join our team.
The Savinov Lab focuses on studying the underlying mechanisms controlling organ-specific autoimmune diseases such as type I diabetes (T1D). By determining how autoimmune T cells are initially activated during T1D pathogenesis, how they home to the target organ and how they destroy their beta cell targets, causing clinical onset of T1D, the Savinov Lab hopes to find an effective molecular therapy capable of controlling the autoimmune process.
