Professor Pennington’s laboratory has two main areas of interest; the first focuses on various aspects of thymic T cell development, primarily the generation of unconventional T cell subsets; the second is to gain a better understanding of the role of the immune system in various human disease settings, e.g. severe trauma, squamous cell carcinoma, tylosis with oesophageal cancer and sarcoidosis. The lab has also commenced several studies on COVID-19.
