The overarching goal of the Su lab is to determine how T cell homeostasis is maintained or broken in healthy and diseased states. We are particularly interested in T cell engagement with microbial antigens during homeostasis as a mechanism for programming inflammatory or tolerogenic T cell responses in infectious and autoimmune diseases. We study T cell responses at a single-cell level and their collective behavior on a population level. We hope to uncover fundamental insights into human immunology to make meaningful impacts.
