Biography

The Koralov lab is dedicated to exploring the intricate processes of adaptive immune responses in health and disease. The laboratory integrates cellular and molecular immunology with cutting-edge technologies to investigate lymphocyte development and the multifaceted roles of B cells in autoimmunity and cancer. The central approach balances fundamental immunological research with translational studies, emphasizing immunogenetics and the evolution of adaptive immune responses. Research sheds light on lymphocyte differentiation and the diversification of B cell repertoires, while highlighting the influence of specific microRNAs on B cell homeostasis, differentiation, and functionality. Innovative gene targeting strategies have led to the development of new mouse models that aid in understanding lymphocyte function in pathological contexts.
