Biography

The James lab is focused on uncovering the biochemical mechanisms that contribute to drug resistance in immunological diseases. His research interests include defining the molecular determinants of B cell differentiation into antibody-secreting cells and mapping the functional effects of genetic variants that contribute to various immunological diseases such as cancer and autoimmunity. The lab also investigates the signaling events that promote resistance to drugs targeting B cells, particularly through the B cell receptor signaling pathway. This multifaceted approach strives to deepen the understanding of how biochemical processes influence immune responses and therapeutic efficacy.
