Research
The Reshef lab combines efforts in both basic research and clinical investigation to advance the understanding of immune responses following hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation and other forms of cell therapy.
The lab is focused on two primary areas:
1. Investigating lymphocyte migration mechanisms and how they affect the clinical and immunologic outcomes of stem-cell transplantation. The lab pioneered the use of chemokine receptor blockade after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation to reduce immune-mediated complications.
2. Developing methodologies for the study of human samples from transplant recipients at the single-cell level in order to unravel novel immunologic mechanisms that would lead to new therapeutic approaches. The lab works with blood, stool and tissue samples and uses a diverse toolset that includes genomic and immunophenotypic methods to identify new therapeutic modalities. Our ultimate goal is to identify new targets that improve transplant outcomes using evidence in both mice and humans and to test these targets clinically.
Dr. Reshef’s research is funded by the National Cancer Institute, Conquer Cancer Foundation, National Marrow Donor Program and Department of Defense. He previously received awards from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the American Society of Hematology.
