Clinical and Research Training
- Stanford University Medical Center Stanford CA Rheumatology Fellow/Research Scientist
- Established that CD1-recognizing transgenic T cells (NK1+CD4-CD8-) induce lupus in nude mice recipients, but not in CD1 knockout mice, by binding to CD1 (high) splenic B cells resulting in high levels of serum anti-dsDNA Abs and glomerulonephritis
- Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School Boston MA Research Fellow
- Established that CD31 receptors regulate human T lymphocyte-mediated immune responses, which are blocked in their effector function, via phosphatase recruitment and suppression of protein kinase C activation via tyrosine inhibitory motifs in the cytoplasmic tail

- Cellular Immunology Section, Surgical Neurology Branch, NINCDS, NIH Student Scientist
- Plasma membrane extraction from cloned T cell lines and isolation of subset-specific protein receptors identified by Western Blot. Evidence of glioblastoma-specific CD8+killer T cells from the peripheral blood of post-op patients
