Research Assistant III- Teyton Lab (Immunology & Microbiology)

The lab studies the early diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and the immune mechanisms that destroy insulin-producing beta cells. Mouse models and human samples are compared throughout so that findings translate to patients. A second focus is developing antibodies against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, especially some of the most dangerous pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus and Neisseria meningitidis.
