Benyamin Rosental
Assistant Professor

I conducted my postdoctoral research at Stanford University, Institute of Stem Cells, School of Medicine, and Stanford Hopkins Marine Station. My Ph.D. research was in cancer, viral, and pregnancy immunology. During my Postdoctoral research, I was working on immune system histocompatibility and stem cell transplantation using a unique aquatic protochordate model.

​The Rosental laboratory is investigating the immune mechanisms of cellular recognition and histocompatibility. This includes immune responses in transplantation with an emphasis on stem cell transplantation. We study basic research on understanding immune mechanisms into translational medical research. We work on the immune system and stem cells with diverse organisms such as humans, tunicates, planarians, and corals.
