The Penaloza-MacMaster Laboratory
Viral pandemics remain an enduring threat to humanity. The Penaloza-MacMaster Laboratory focuses on developing novel strategies to prevent and treat viral infections by integrating fundamental immunology with translational...
The Tsokos laboratory studies immune cell signaling, metabolism and gene transcription in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases using state-of-the-art approaches. Our aim is to identify molecules that are central to the immunopathogenesis of the...
Research in the laboratory is focused on the immunobiology of eosinophils. As cells of the innate immune system eosinophils are notable for their content of a single type of intracellular granule. These granules in human eosinophils contain four...
I was born and raised in Southern California, attended UCLA with a major in Applied Math and Physical Chemistry and Harvard Medical School, with postdoctoral research training in the laboratory of David Livingston at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, as well...
Research over the past years has illustrated protean biologic effects of ATP, ADP, and adenosine-mediated signaling. These mediators function through the activation of G-protein–coupled or ligand-gated ion-channel receptors. Adenosine is derived from ATP...
