Dr. Kenneth Weinberg's laboratory's efforts are aimed at understanding the reciprocal interactions between immature T lymphocytes (“thymocytes”) and thymic epithelial cells, the stromal cells of the thymus which support T lymphocyte development. Such interactions are abnormal in both genetic diseases of children like severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) and the DiGeorge syndrome, and in aging and autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Kenneth Weber's research seeks to develop markers of pain and sensorimotor function using machine-learning and advanced brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging. Dr. Weber aims to use these techniques to better understand the neuropathology of pain and neurological conditions and discover more effective treatments and preventative strategies.
