Our lab is interested in studying the immune system and how such a tightly regulated system can give rise to pathogenic immune responses. More specifically, we try to understand how innate immune functions of lung epithelial cells regulate the development and progression of lung immunopathogenesis. To accomplish this, we use iterative systems biology approaches with experimental data and predictive, quantitative models to determine the spatial and temporal mechanisms that control of interferon signaling, gene expression dynamics, and inflammation.
