Adrienne Barnes, PhD, is an immunologist and faculty researcher at a university in Bangor, Maine, and writes about immune function for Biology Insights. She has worked in academic research since 2008, leading projects centered on T-cell maturation and cellular signaling pathways. Her laboratory examines how developing lymphocytes differentiate and respond to chemical cues during inflammatory reactions, and trains graduate students in experimental bench methods. Barnes earned a bachelor of science in biology and completed her doctorate in immunology at Louisiana State University.
