The Lucas laboratory uses human genomics, in vitro studies with primary patient cells, and in vivo mouse modeling approaches to discover new and translationally relevant principles of immunology starting with patients suffering from severe immune disorders.
The laboratory of Dr. Carrie Lucas strives to discover mechanisms of disease driving rare immune disorders, focusing on the genetic, cellular, and biochemical underpinnings that can illuminate fundamental biology and broadly inform diagnoses and treatments. The Lucas Lab is part of the Department of Immunobiology, a highly interdisciplinary and interactive group focused on basic immunological research and multiple aspects of human diseases at Yale University.
The Lucas Lab started in July 2016.
