The research interests in the Reilly Laboratory are focused on are immunological regulation of autoimmunity. Our major focus involves lupus models of autoimmunity. We use a variety of in vivo and in vitro techniques to understand the basic physiological mechanism that induce autoimmunity. We investigate, both the innate and cell mediated immune system. Furthermore, we investigate how various animal models mimic different aspects of human lupus. We couple this with investigating different therapeutics to more precisely target disease pathogenesis.
