Cancer-Focused Research

In the context of acute lung inflammation and injury, my laboratory focuses on DNA methylation and gene expression as features that define T lymphocyte immunoregulatory phenotype and pro-repair function. Our data show that these epigenetic phenomena can potentiate resolution of acute lung inflammation and repair of lung damage. This work is also applicable to the study of aging as well as disease states outside the lung, including autoimmune conditions, malignancy, and organ allograft rejection.
