We explore epigenetic mechanisms that are required to drive the humoral immune response, and how disruption of these mechanisms cause malignant transformation into lymphomas.

I have been working on a new technology in immune-oncology field leveraging on my expertise in gene expression analysis and genetic engineering. Recently, I defined a correlation between ICAM-1 expression and malignant features in ...

I am interested in host pathogen interactions in human retrovirus infections, including HIV-1 and human endogenous retroviruses.
Dr. Ivashkiv’s laboratory investigates the pathogenic mechanisms of cytokines in inflammatory and musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteolysis and orthopaedic implant loosening/failure, and systemic lupus erythematosus. He is interested in how cytokines and ...

To advance our understanding of the relationship between HIV and the human immune system primarily cytotoxic T-cells and natural killer cells.
(1) Histone functional genetic models to study epigenetic regulation of mouse hematopoiesis and immune cell development. (2) Mechanisms and function of epigenetic memory of inflammation in hematopoietic stem cells. (3) “Signaling to chromatin” and ...

I am interested in the microbiome and how it impacts efficacy of immunotherapy and radiation. I am also studying prostate SBRT.
The research interests of the lab fall under the broad categories of genomics, computational biology and systems biology. We participate in multiple international genomics consortia and collaborate with scientists at multiple institutes to develop ...
