Profile

Our  lab is working on the role of innate immune receptors in inflammation.

My current project involves the study of interactions of CD14 with endogenous ligands that may play a role in tissue damage. I use the Yeast-2 hybrid,mammalian-2 hybrid and Coimmunoprecipitation techniques as well as functional assays for studying these interactions.
