Ginny L. Bumgardner's research focuses on the immune system's role in organ transplant rejection, particularly how antibodies produced by the body's B cells attack transplanted kidneys and livers. A major focus is a specialized type of white blood cell called CXCR5+CD8+ T cells, which appear to suppress harmful antibody responses after transplantation, along with studies of Epstein-Barr virus-related lymphoma treatment. This work combines laboratory mouse models with clinical and surgical training topics relevant to transplant surgery.
