Innate immune and epithelial cell inflammatory programs
In health, the respiratory tract filters over 10,000 liters of inspired air per day and provides the first line of defense against airborne pathogens, while preventing excessive inflammation. My interest is to define the cellular and molecular signals underlying the initiation and persistence of excessive type 2 inflammation at mucosal sites. Our ultimate goal is to understand key regulatory features to prevent and treat diseases such as asthma.
