The Robey lab is interested in how signaling pathways control cell fate decisions. By using T cell development and immune responses in the mouse as model systems, we can take advantage of the powerful genetic approaches available in the mouse, while learning about a mammalian immune system that is very close to our own. Our lab also makes extensive use of 2-photon imaging approaches to observe and analyze T cell behavior in real-time in situ. We strive to create an inclusive lab environment where all voices are heard and all opinions are valued. We believe that having a team with a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences makes doing science more innovative, collaborative, and fun. The Robey lab is currently recruiting. You can email Ellen directly erobey@berkeley.edu to apply.
