Patrick L. Collins

This researcher studies how immune cells such as T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells develop and are regulated at the genetic and molecular level, including how DNA repair, gene regulation, and epigenetic marks shape immune cell function. Work spans topics like thymocyte (T cell precursor) development, DNA damage repair, B cell responses in disease models, and immune involvement in conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral malaria, and cancer. The lab combines molecular immunology techniques with genomic and epigenomic profiling methods.

Publication output has grown from none in 2017 to a peak of 13 in 2023, with sustained output of roughly 9-10 papers per year through 2025, indicating a generally growing and steady recent publication record.
