Welcome to the Kohut Lab

We use interdisciplinary approaches to determine how factors at the level of the whole organism (aging, stress, exercise, obesity, psychological processes, etc) influence function and regulation of immune response. We focus primarily on immune response to respiratory viral infection and vaccination.

As we identify the mechanisms that underlie the complex interactions between immune response and the whole organism, we develop new therapies to improve host immunity In collaboration with colleagues at the nanovaccine institute.
