Research Focus

Clinical and laboratory research in sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease.

Our research group interests are focused on discovery of mechanisms related to human diseases in response to microbial and environmental stressors. We apply state of the art tools including, molecular and cell biology, metabolomics, and genetics to dissect the molecular mechanisms and to identify the determinant factor(s) related to human phenotypic diversity and clinical manifestation of diseases.
