Inflammation & Immune Regulation
Our researchers define the cellular and molecular pathways that drive chronic inflammation and immune-mediated disease.
Through studies of asthma, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and regulatory immune pathways, we aim to develop targeted therapies that restore immune balance.
Faculty in this area include:
- Roberts/Jaffar Laboratory – Immune regulation in allergic asthma
- Dr. Holian – Mechanisms of chronic inflammatory disease
- Dr. Riel – Small-molecule modulators of inflammatory pathways
- Dr. Shepherd – Immune dysfunction and therapeutic innovation
