Jeff’s research is focused on comparative immunology with an emphasis on understanding how immune systems recognize and destroy invading pathogens while leaving their own cells unscathed. His research interests span all vertebrate lineages, but his lab employs zebrafish, rodents, and human cells as models for discovery. His current research is focused on how genetic diversity and exposure to environmental chemicals impact immune function in all animals including humans
