Matt Wise

Matt worked on engineered, non-activating CD3 monoclonal antibodies for models of immunosuppression and the role of tolerant CD4 positive T-cells in maintaining tolerance to MHC class I using a T-cell receptor transgenic model. He also investigated the mechanisms of MHC-I directed graft rejection by CD4+ T-cells. He is now returned to clinical medicine.

Jennifer Babik

Jenn successfully completed her D. Phil. and is now continuing her studies at Stanford Medical School.

Professor Ivan Lefkovits


Ivan joined us for six months on sabbatical leave and has now returned to the Basel Institute. His main interests are in the Limiting Dilution Analysis of lymphocyte populations, and the development of methods to characterize and catalogue the patterns of gene expression and protein synthesis from a wide range of tissues and cell types. The latter involves the in vitro translation of robotically generated cDNA matrix libraries and computer analysis of 2D gel electrophoresis.
