About the Department

The Kee Laboratory, within the Department of Pathology, investigates the molecular mechanisms controlling the development and function of innate and adaptive immune cells.

The lab is composed of postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, undergraduate students, and technicians. This at-will position is wholly funded by contractual grant funding which is renewed under provisions set by the grantor of the contract. Employment will be contingent upon the continued receipt of these grant funds and satisfactory job performance.
