Kendall Laboratory

The Kendall Lab investigates the immunologic pathophysiology of Type 1 diabetes (T1D), with a focus on the role of B lymphocytes. The goal of this work is to understand the cellular and molecular interactions that lead to destruction of pancreatic beta cells, and to apply these discoveries to the prediction, prevention and treatment of T1D.
