Raj Thaker previously worked on understanding how T-cells delimit proximal signaling during inflammation in the laboratory of Christopher E. Rudd at University of Cambridge; and on the finer structural and functional properties of yeast V-ATPase proton pump in Gerhard Gruber’s group at NTU, Singapore. In the Sharpe lab, Raj is interested in applying OMICS to explore the roles, relationships, and actions of the various types of molecules that make up T-cells to strengthen immuno-therapeutics. When not in lab, Raj likes playing badminton, swimming and being socratically ironic.

Congratulations to Peter Sage. His review “T follicular regulatory cells in the regulation of B cell responses” was accepted by Trends in Immunology.

Congratulations to Shannon McArdel for successfully defending her dissertation: “Immunoregulatory roles of CD48 in autoimmunity and tolerance”.
