The scientific mission of the Immunology Program at the Benaroya Research Institute is to better understand the mechanisms that underlie the pathology seen in patients with autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes. Our approaches include developing novel model systems of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. We use these model systems to determine how the activity of the immune system is regulated, and to understand how these regulatory mechanisms breakdown during autoimmunity.
