Under the direction of Denise Faustman, MD, PhD, the Immunobiology Laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital has advanced the understanding of the role the human immune system plays in autoimmune diseases, cancer and transplantation.

From basic research into turning the immune system on to fight cancer to a Phase II clinical trial to reverse type 1 diabetes, the lab conducts and then translates basic research in applications that help patients.
