Research summary
AI-generated

Vincent Nganga studies how immune cells called T cells develop, focusing on how the physical folding and looping of DNA in the genome controls the assembly of antigen receptor genes (the molecular tags T cells use to recognize threats). The work combines genomics, chromatin biology (how DNA is packaged and organized in 3D), and immunology, including studies of leukemia cell models and gene-editing tools like synthetic zinc finger proteins to manipulate gene activity.

Publication output was sparse or absent in the earlier part of the decade but has increased in the most recent two years (2024-2025), suggesting a recent uptick in activity.
