Troy D. Randall PhD

Troy D. Randall, PhD received a new NIH U19 grant entitled, “Virus-Induced Cell Fate Decisions in Anti-Viral Immunity”. The study consists of four projects, supported by three cores. In Project 1, Dr. Troy Randall at UAB will determine how Tfh responses are controlled by IL-2 signaling and availability. In Project 2, Dr. Allan Zajac at UAB will determine how anti-viral CD8+ T cells responses are controlled by adhesion molecules and T cell clustering. In Project 3, Dr. Frances Lund at UAB will determine how anti-viral B cell responses are controlled by IFNgama signaling and availability. In Project 4, Dr. Nicole Baumgarth of UC Davis will determine how natural and induced anti-viral IgM responses are controlled
