Sucai brings ~20 years of immunology research expertise to the lab.

Andrew manages recruitment of our research participants and assists with all things statistics.

Cassandra has directed the gnotobiotic facility for the past 5 years.

Brendan is interested in identifying genes within S. didolesgii that confer its ability to cross the mucosal barrier and trigger arthritis.

I am a PhD candidate in the Immunology Graduate Program. My research focuses on how interactions between colon epithelial cells and intraepithelial or lamina propria T cells influences immune tolerance and the development of inflammatory disease, specifically colitis and arthritis. After completing my PhD, my goal is to become a PI focused on the immunology of inflammatory bowel disease. 

I am jointly mentored by Dr. Kuhn and Dr. Eric Pietras in the Division of Hematology at CU. My thesis project will combine the Kuhn lab's expertise in axial spondyloarthritis with that of the Pietras' lab in trained immunity. Stay tuned!
