==Research background== Unutmaz has done extensive work in studying the molecular mechanisms of [[T cell]]s and their involvement in [[HIV]] infection and other chronic inflammatory diseases in humans. “My research has focused on understanding what HIV ‘knows’ about the immune system and how HIV infection leads to disease. We are now using the knowledge we acquired from studying HIV to other chronic inflammatory disorders and to understand the aging of the immune system. JAX [The Jackson Laboratory] will be an ideal institution to continue our studies at the genomics level and translate them for clinical use.”<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.jax.org/news-and-insights/2014/november/immunologist-hiv-expert-derya-unutmaz-m-d-joins-jackson-laboratory-faculty | title = Immunologist, HIV expert Derya Unutmaz, M.D., joins Jackson Laboratory faculty | last = Peterson | first = Joyce|website=The Jackson Laboratory|language=en|access-date=2019-04-05}}</ref> His laboratory’s discoveries include the role of [[cytokine]]s (proteins produced by immune cells) in making [[CD4+]] T cells more vulnerable to HIV infection; and how HIV preferentially infects and perturbs human [[T cell]] subsets, including NKT, regulatory T (Tregs) and [[interleukin 17|IL-17]]-secreting (Th17) cells.
