Research Similar inflammatory,
immunologic, and pathophysiologic events characterize disease
processes at mucosal sites such as the intestine and the lung. Critical
issues to this research area include understanding the role of immune cells
and mediators, and the role of cell death, in the production of disease.
The overall aim of my research is to define cell-cell interactions in these
systems, and how such interactions may affect gastrointestinal and pulmonary
physiology, responsiveness, and inflammation, in an attempt to develop
novel therapeutic strategies. |
