Unlocking the mechanisms of immune regulation to combat severe inflammation and cytokine storm syndromes our lab investigates how immune responses are controlled to prevent fatal reactions. We use in vitro and in vivo approaches to identify key genes and pathways, focusing on autophagy and its role in protecting macrophages and preventing cytokine storm. Our goal is to develop host-directed therapies for infectious and inflammatory disorders.
