Introduction
Research in the laboratory of Ellen Heber-Katz, Ph.D., has covered a broad array of topics, centering on the genetics and molecular biology of autoimmunity, the study of the immune response to HSV and the development of T cell vaccines, and most recently wound healing and regeneration. The current studies in the Heber-Katz laboratory involve basic research applied to multiple tissue types including appendage regeneration, heart disease, and spinal cord tissue damage and basic mechanisms of DNA damage control, cell growth and differentiation.
