Doctor Haberman is interested in understanding the factors that influence the proliferation, migration and differentiation of germinal center B lymphocytes. A particular interest of hers is the migratory behavior of activated B cells within the context of tissue architecture. She uses a combination of histology, flow cytometry and intravital multiphoton microscopy to study the factors that regulate B cell subset activation and their movements in vivo. A related area of interest includes the cellular interactions influencing the delayed onset of germinal center formation. She is also interested in the events that influence the further differentiation of germinal center B cells toward a phenotype of long-term plasma cells and memory cells that are critical for long-term resistance to pathogens.
