报告人简介

Amit Gaggar, MD, PhD, Endowed Professor of Medicine Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Dr. Gaggar's laboratory interests focus on the roles proteases play in modulation of lung disease. Dr. Gaggar utilizes a combination of cell-based systems, unique murine models, and clinical specimens, leading to research which is truly "translational" in nature. The Gaggar lab's interests focus on the following areas: (1) The Role of Matrix Metalloproteases in Chronic Lung Diseases; (2) The Role of Proteases in the Generation of Chemotactic Ligands; (3) The Regulation of Proteases in Epithelial Ion Transport; (4) The Regulation of Innate Immunity by Airway Proteases; (5) Mechanisms Regulating Release of Proteases from Epithelial Cells and Immune Cells Airway Proteases; (6) Clinical Trials in CF and COPD lung disease.
