Dr. Megan Levings and her team have recently published two papers on the very different functions and uses of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are immune cells that help to rein in immune responses to ensure that they don’t go too far and begin harming healthy tissues in their pursuit of foreign invaders.
BC Children’s Hospital is home to several specialized scientific facilities that couple technical expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to enable basic, clinical and applied health research.
Our researchers use these facilities to perform cutting-edge analysis of DNA, proteins and cells, enabling research that contributes to improved clinical practices and furthers scientific understanding of the mechanisms of disease. The facilities operate using an efficient, collaborative and team-based approach. These facilities and services are also available to the external research community.
