Natalia Vapniarsky, DVM, PhD

Research Interests: My research is focused on immunological hurdles in regenerative medicine. Specifically, my lab has determined that some cells may not be immunoprivileged, as previously prescribed by a well-accepted dogma. 
Hence, my team is assessing the relevance of MHC-I matching in stem cell therapy and musculoskeletal transplantation. Additionally, my laboratory recently initiated a project assessing the immunological function in large-breed dogs affected by systemic and localized fungal mold infections.
