Overview
Research in my laboratory is broadly directed at elucidating the molecular details of mammalian innate immunity, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. We use a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches to analyze the host factors that influence the response to infection with Salmonella typhimurium, an important agent of acute gastroenteritis in humans. In an on-going series of experiments, we are attempting to elucidate the effects of altered iron metabolism on macrophage function in salmonellosis. These studies have revealed a novel role for intracellular iron in the regulation of inflammatory cytokine biosynthesis, and have important implications for our understanding of host-pathogen interactions in conditions such as hemochromatosis.
