By integrating specific areas of expertise - genomics, proteomics, ribonomics, and bioinformatics - Irina’s group is studying normal and pathological conditions at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. The basic research in Dr. St. Louis’ laboratory is centered on post-transcriptional gene expression regulation in human cells, specifically, through messenger RNA turnover. Her translational research focuses on immune restoration disorders (IRD). Dr. St. Louis is engaged in a number of clinical studies, within the Global Health & International Medicine Program. These studies involve the stratification of AIDS patients, for optimal treatment regimens. The studies also include searches for biomarkers of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Additionally, Dr. St. Louis’ lab collaborates with the Division of Hematology Oncology and Transplantation, on virus-specific immune reconstitution, after various hematopoietic cell transplantation regimens. This collaborative research aims to define the parameters and conditions for favorable post-transplant immune restoration and functional recovery in adult patients. Show less
