Macrophages and dendritic cells play a key role in mediating tissue homeostasis. The laboratory researches the distinct properties of human macrophages and dendritic cells in both health and disease.
The focus of the laboratory is to understand the role of macrophages and dendritic cells within fetal membranes such as the placenta, and within reproductive organs such as the decidua.
Our approach integrates high dimensional techniques including single-cell RNA seq, advanced flow cytometry and confocal microscopy.
