Area(s) of Specialization:
- Neuroimmunology, Innate immunity, Airway inflammation, Infectious disease, Host-pathogen interactions.
My lab research primarily focuses on neuroimmunology, innate immunity, and host–pathogen interactions in lung.
My lab will study how neuro-immune interaction at respiratory tract regulates the host defense and inflammation during respiratory infection and acute lung injury.
We study respiratory-tract innervating neurons, inflammation and host immune responses to understand the pathogenesis of lung diseases.
Our current research focus is on uncovering the neuroimmune interactions in lung inflammation and host defense.
Research:
- Neuronal regulation of respiratory infection and pneumonia
- Neuronal signaling pathways in intracellular antimicrobial defense
- Neuroimmune crosstalk in chronic lung inflammation
Keywords: Biology - Studies the role of lung-innervating neurons in lung adenocarcinoma development.
