Several research projects that study the role of human lymphoycytes in immune responses are under way in Dr. Kent Teague's laboratory. Dr. Teague is studying how proteins made by lymphocytes and called cytokines control the development, differentiation and death of a population of lympocytes called T cells. He has developed single cell detection methods that identify phosphorylation of signaling intermediates that result from signal transduction by cytokines of interest. Use of this technology led to the discovery of patterns of cytokine sensitivity that have expanded our understanding of the way in which T cells alter their cytokine responsiveness based on their development and/or activation status.

Appreciating the distinctiveness of Bedlam as a prelude to designing an appropriate evaluation strategy is a central aim of the early evaluation activity this website organizes. The term “Evaluation Webfolio” communicates our efforts to organize the complexity of Bedlam into specific products that support further evaluation design, the formulation of evaluation strategy, the implementation of subsequent evaluation steps, and the realization of evaluation validity. The Webfolio serves as a portfolio in which we organize along the vertical axis of the home page principal evaluation findings and products we have developed during this preliminary stage of evaluation. These findings and products are consistent with best practices and the state of the art in evaluation and include an appreciation of Bedlam’s theory and properties and a portrayal of the variation in types of Bedlam clinics and services.
