The Inflammation Program is an interdisciplinary program comprised of independent investigators who share a common interest in understanding the cell and molecular biology of inflammation and its causes and consequences.  Current research foci include the regulation of pro-inflammatory signaling between host and microbe; the structure, function and mobilization of antimicrobial host compounds; and the mechanisms by which successful pathogens can evade or resist host defenses.  The program provides an interactive environment to promote new research into the fundamental biology of inflammation.  Most important is the shared belief that a more complete understanding of cellular and molecular responses during inflammation requires an integrated approach to the study of host and microbe interactions.
