Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Jason Scott Stumhofer's research focuses on the immunobiology of T helper cells, particularly the regulation of T helper 17 (Th17) cells and their role in inflammation and host defense. He has investigated the effects of cytokines such as Interleukin-27 (IL-27) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) on T cell differentiation and function. His work has demonstrated that IL-27 can negatively regulate Th17 cell development and inhibit the production of IL-17, a key cytokine involved in inflammatory responses. Additionally, his research has explored how IL-27 and IL-6 can induce STAT3-mediated production of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) by T cells, suggesting complex regulatory networks within the immune system.
Stumhofer's federally funded research includes projects investigating the regulation of macrophage function during acute infection with Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria. He has also received funding for the development of an organoid model to study the pathogenesis of endemic Burkitt lymphoma and for the design of a B cell tetramer to track Plasmodium falciparum MSP2-specific B cells. These grants highlight his engagement with infectious diseases and cancer biology.
With a career marked by high citation counts and active research, Stumhofer leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 26 and over 5,450 citations across 54 publications. He collaborates with several researchers at his institution, including Enatha Ntirandekura, Kara A. O’Neal, Camille L. Foscue, and Susie L. Brown.
