GFP-Glut1 (green) and Lysotracker (red) show intracellular distribution of the glucose transporter, Glut1, and lysosomes in growth factor stimulated lymphocytes |
Electron microscopy of growth factor starved cell shows how cells that lose glucose uptake resort to autophagy prior to apoptosis by Bcl-2 family proteins |
| Our focus is to understand how metabolism is regulated in immunity and cancer as well as how glucose metabolism impacts cell differentiation and death pathways. Ultimately, we hope to manipulate metabolism in immunosuppressive and cancer therapies. |
