Dr. Matzinger studies mechanisms of T-cell tolerance and memory. She proposed the Danger model
of immunity, which suggests that the immune system is far less concerned with things that are foreign
than with those that do damage. Her work has major implications for autoimmunity, cancer
immunotherapy, and vaccine design.
