SLID adds the Guava EasyCyte Mini System to it's arsenault!
Welcome to the Screening Lab for Immune Disorders (SLID)
We are both a Research & Development lab and a Service lab focused on evaluating cellular immune responses in various clinical settings including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders/conditions, plus drug efficacy and mechanisms. This includes using and developing innovative, multiplex bead-based assays to quantify multiple protein immune regulators simultaneously in small sample volumes of most biological fluids. Our main research project is to examine how antigen-presenting cells and T cells communicate in type 1 diabetes. Our goal is to identify new target biomarkers with diagnostic and/or therapeutic significance in clinical settings. We have several collaborative research projects with local Clinicians, Scientists, and private companies and gladly welcome new collaborations!
