Rachel Friedman, PhD; 2023 Spirit of nPOD Award
Dr. Rachel Friedman was awarded a grant from the Helmsley Charitable Trust in 2023 for her work mononuclear phagocyte populations in T1D islets. Dr. Friedman's research interests include how T cells interact with antigen presenting cells at the disease site can result in T cell activation or tolerance. Her main aim is to understand how the immune system dynamically regulates immune responses though cellule responses and environmental cues and develop therapeutic interventions to disrupt pathogenic cellular interactions that promote autoimmunity.
