Faculty member Erik Peterson is developing a molecular immunology research program that will focus on a novel adapter protein, PRAM-1, that he helped to isolate and identify.  PRAM-1 is implicated in the pathogenesis of myeloid leukemia, and may play roles in myeloid signaling and development.  Another adapter protein called ADAP has already been implicated as an intermediate in the regulation of antigen-induced cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion in T cells, and investigations of this protein are also underway in the Peterson laboratory.
