Inflammation Control
How does the immune system ensure an appropriate response to insult while also enabling a return to homeostasis?
Our lab studies the contribution of cellular heterogeneity to the regulation of inflammation, and seeks to understand how genetic and epigenetic diversity work together to generate proportional inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we seek to understand how the loss of cellular heterogeneity through environmental pressure contributes to the development of rheumatic diseases. Ultimately, we hope to further our understanding of inflammation and the immune response, and to further the development of personalised medicine in treating auto-inflammatory diseases.Our lab studies the contribution of cellular heterogeneity to the regulation of inflammation, and seeks to understand how genetic and epigenetic diversity work together to generate proportional inflammatory responses.
