Dr. Alexei Tumanov’s research focuses on the regulation of mucosal immunity and cancer. We investigate how the immune system regulates the delicate balance between protective immunity and immunopathology at mucosal surfaces, particularly in the gut. The goal of Dr. Tumanov`s research program is to combine molecular data with in vivo models to understand the mechanisms underlying homeostatic and pathological conditions for the development of effective immunotherapies.
