Probing nuclear receptor biology in the immune system
Drug discovery efforts targeting nuclear receptors to treat disease
Aberrant activation of the immune system and how we can treat it
Using nuclear receptors to boost anti-tumor immunity
Welcome to the Solt Lab
The underlying theme of the research performed in the Solt laboratory is to understand the biologically relevant roles of nuclear receptors, a superfamily of ligand regulated transcription factors, in the immune system. Our lab uses a combination of molecular biology, genetic, and chemical biology approaches coupled with mouse models of autoimmunity and chronic inflammation to study how different nuclear receptors’ expression, function, and activity affects disease.
