The Fooksman laboratory (Montefiore Einstein Department of Pathology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Health System, Bronx, New York, USA) researches normal and malignant plasma cell physiology. These antibody-generating immune cells can survive for decades in the body. Because plasma cells are the architects of long-term immune response, it’s crucial to understand their life cycle and function. A better understanding of these cells can also support improved diagnosis and treatment of plasma cell malignancies such as multiple myeloma. In support of this research, David Fooksman and colleagues use in vivo imaging for cell visualization.
