STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our lab is interested in the mechanisms that regulate neutrophil migration and activation, more specifically their response to tissue injury and infection. The neutrophil is a hallmark of inflammation and neutrophilic inflammation is the driving force behind a spectrum of human inflammatory diseases. Restraining neutrophilic inflammation will help alleviate diseases such as arthritis, cancer and auto-inflammation. We are also interested in understanding pathogen-host interactions using the zebrafish model and the strength relies on the combination of the genetics in pathogens and the host. We are creating a lab where happy scientists do solid science.
One of our current projects is to characterize the role of miRNAs in regulating neutrophil functions. Using next generation sequencing, we have identified miRNAs that are enriched in neutrophils. The focus to characterize the contribution of each individual miRNA in regulating neutrophil motility and response to tissue injury or infection using a combination of genetics and imaging tools.
