Immunology
Research summary
My research is focused on understanding the role of liver macrophages in metabolic liver disease and heart failure. Using pre-clinical models and human samples we seek to discover novel pathways to modulate immune function for patients with cardiometabolic disease and cardiogenic liver disease..

Program affiliation
Immunology
Research summary
My research interests are in the genetics of immune-mediated diseases and the fundamental mechanisms of immune cell activation, immune dysregulation, and immunological tolerance. My current work focuses on delineating the mechanisms underlying a monogenic syndrome of early-onset autoimmunity caused by gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in STAT3.
