Professor Charles Surh
Associate Editor

Charles Surh’s main research interest is in studying the biology of T cells. In particular, his laboratory is focused on further defining the factors that regulate homeostasis of naïve and memory T cells, and to define the role of these factors in the activation of naïve T cells and the generation of memory T cells. His laboratory is also engaged in defining the role of T cells in establishing functional tolerance to commensal antigens in the mucosal tissues.
