The Rothstein laboratory studies the regulation of lymphocyte activation and function focusing on the role of autoantigens in systemic autoimmune diseases and how low-affinity autoreactive B cells are activated by engaging B cell receptors and Toll-like receptors (TLR7/9). Research also examines the dual role of Fas-ligand in regulating T cells and promoting inflammation and uses pseudo-GVHD animal models to understand antigen-dependent disease triggers and identify profibrotic CD8 T cell subsets in pulmonary fibrosis.More information is available on the Rothstein laboratory website.
