Description of Research Expertise
regulatory networks, immunity, inflammation, tissue repair, mucosal interfaceThrough the study of parasitic helminths and protozoa, my group has made important contributions towards understanding mechanisms controlling development of alternatively activated macrophages and Type 2 inflammation within the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract.
