RFC6 "Conversation with Bob Kahn" by S.D. RFC5 "Decode Encode Language (DEL)" by J. Current studies focus on the ties between the ER stress system and immune function as well as cancer immunity.Indexes of RFC / STD / BCP / FYI / IEN RFC Index RFC1 "Host Software" by S. Glimcher’s laboratory has identified new proteins that control osteoblast and osteoclast commitment and activation in skeletal biology, with significant implications for diseases of bone, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and cancer metastasis to bone. Glimcher's laboratory has studied the transcriptional pathways that control this important immune checkpoint, leading to many discoveries, including the T-bet and XBP-1 transcription factors, which regulate a variety of immune functions. The complex regulatory pathways governing T helper cell responses are critical both for the development of protective immunity and for the pathophysiologic immune responses underlying autoimmune, infectious and malignant diseases.ĭr. The research interests of the Glimcher lab focus on the molecular pathways that regulate CD4 T helper cell development and activation. Glimcher is a magna cum laude graduate of Radcliffe College and holds an MD degree cum laude from Harvard Medical School.
