Sobhan’s research is focused on classical and non-classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and their recognition by αβ and γδ T cells.  He is using immunological, crystallographic, and biochemical techniques to understand the molecular basis of antigen presentation and its recognition by T cell receptors in the context of pathogenic infection and cancer.

Besides lab, Sobhan likes to play and watch cricket in his free time, listen to music, read books, watch movies, and try new recipes.

Andrew is currently focused on engineering and expression of MR1 in different cell lines.  He is interested in learning more about immunology, and MR1’s importance in cell signaling.

——————-
Outside of lab, he likes to tend to his house plants, chase his cats, and play D&D.

Elizabeth helps support the cloning and protein expression parts of the laboratory, specifically working on trying to understand shark antigen presenting molecules.

Outside of the lab, Elizabeth likes to  read, spend time with my friends, and take dance classes

Idongesit is interested in exploring the MR1-Tcell axis with respect to pathogenic infections. She will focus on identifying the ligands loaded onto MR1 following pathogenic infection and post-vaccination, and the MR1T cell response to these pathogens.
——————-
She loves realistic fiction, strength training and spending time with friends.

Arianna is interested in the structure function of HLA-F and how it is recognized by immune receptors. 

In her spare time, Arianna likes to run and bike along the Lakefront trail, swim, sing, fill up on sushi, and spend time with friends.
