Major Research Theme
This laboratory, directed by Dr. Peter Weller, has many active areas of basic laboratory research centered around understanding basic mechanisms of leukocyte functioning in forms of inflammation.  The two principal areas of investigation are: 1) the immunobiology of eosinophilic leukocytes and 2) the intracellular regulation and compartmentalization of inducible mediators of inflammation in neutrophils and other leukocytes. Studies of human eosinophils are aimed at defining mechanisms whereby eosinophils may collaboratively interact with other cellular elements of the immune system.
