Shock Trauma Research – Molecular and Cellular Immunology


This laboratory explores the pathways of signal transduction of macrophages in response to microbes and microbial constituents with a specific focus on the role of the cellular proteasome. These are the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial products induce the release of inflammatory mediators from tissue microphages during the process of microbial sepsis.  A major goal is to identify key biochemical steps in the pathway of activation that would be potentially amenable to therapeutic intervention with specific drugs to treat sepsis.
