Description of Research Expertise

regulatory networks, immunity, inflammation, tissue repair, mucosal interface

Through 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.
