Research

The respiratory tract is one of the organ systems in the human body directly confronted with the outside world, making effective immune surveillance and defense mechanisms essential. Dendritic cells (DCs) are emerging as prominent regulators of immune responses in the lung. Historically, a large body of work has looked into the anatomic and functional properties of DCs in the respiratory system. Recent studies utilizing novel research techniques are rapidly expanding our knowledge. Most of this recent work has been done using animal models. We are characterizing the phenotypes of dendritic cells in the normal human lung and in disease states in which dendritic cells are either proven or implicated to play important roles in pathogenesis and pathophysiology, namely, but not limited to, sarcoidosis and idiopathic as well as secondary forms of pulmonary fibrosis.
