This event is now cancelled. Apologies for any inconveniences caused.
My lab is interested in how the innate immune response prioritizes what it responds to when faced with multiple simultaneous insults. This includes understanding how influenza A virus impacts the response to a secondary pulmonary infection with bacteria, and how pulmonary infections impact the ability to heal a cutaneous wound. Using several complementary models we have shown that lung infections cause a rapid, sustained, chemokine-dependent suppression of the innate immune wound healing response, and subsequently a delay in cutaneous wound healing. These data demonstrate a new biological premise of regulated immune prioritization.
