My lab is focusing on the role of mast cells, their progenitors and other immune cells in lung diseases such as asthma,COPD, lung cancer and respiratory virus infections. We use a combination of in vivo models and transgenic mouse strains, and clinical samples of the diseases to pursue our studies. We are frequent users of multicolour flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy, precision cut lung slices.
