Research Focus
Dr. Nevil John Singh's lab at the University of Maryland Baltimore researches how the immune system coordinates responses to infections that start in one part of the body and spread to others. They study how certain immune cells, like dendritic cells, communicate with distant tissues to enhance immune readiness against future infections. This research could lead to better vaccines and treatments that prepare the immune system for infections more effectively.
