Hi! My name is Gina Sanchez, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Weinstein Lab. We study the roles of T follicular helper (Tfh) and Germinal Center (GC) B cells in the development of autoimmunity, specifically Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. My project aims to understand what allows GC B cells with self-reactive B cell receptors to exist and expand, bypassing the tolerizing selection process that exists within the GC.
