Human T cells drive protection from infection, are central actors in cancer immunotherapy, and drive much of the pathology associated with autoimmune disease. Functional genetic studies in human T cells could reveal pathways that control cell function, prioritize targets for drug development, and improve the design of genetically reprogrammed cell-based therapies.
By developing and applying platforms for CRISPR-Cas9 manipulation and screening in primary human T cells, we explore protein-coding and non-coding genetic mechanisms that regulate T cell functions and work toward therapeutic engineering of cells to treat cancer, HIV, primary immune deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.
