Research
The Clatworthy lab is interested in understanding how B cell activation and IgG antibody effector function is regulated in different tissues, particularly in the kidney and the gut.
Current research questions:
- How can we regulate B cell activation and antibody generation in human disease?
- Which immune cells are capable of responding to IgG in the kidneys, and how is their position and function influenced by the kidney microenvironment.
- What role do IgG and FcgR play in the gastrointestinal tract?
- How does FcgR-crosslinking by IgG affect immune cell metabolism?
