Byersdorfer Lab
Dr. Byersdorfer is a physician-scientist whose research interests focus on understanding the biology of GVHD-causing T cells following allogeneic transplantation. The goal of these efforts is to develop novel therapeutics to mitigate graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) while preserving homeostatic immune reconstitution and graft-versus-leukemia effects. Specifically, Dr. Byersdorfer’s research program seeks to elucidate the specific metabolic pathways that are upregulated in GVHD-causing T cells. His efforts represent a novel approach to understand disease pathogenesis and will likely lead to new and innovative therapies. In addition, his findings on T cell metabolism will almost certainly have implications beyond the field of blood and marrow transplantation to impact solid organ transplantation and improve our ability to mediate long-term anti-leukemia responses.
