Collaboration Interests
Our research group is fundamentally collaborative, working to understand tissue immunity across multiple organs and disease states. As our grants and publications suggest, we enjoy pushing the scientific boundaries of immunology and its intersections with neuroscience, metabolic diseases, lung biology, and barrier health.
I am interested in:
- academic collaboration
- companies and entrepreneurs
- physician scientist
- policy change
- press
