Biography
Postdoctoral Research at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA (2014-2015), University of Illinois at Chicago, USA (2010-2014), Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Lucknow, India (2009-2010). His research interests focus on the role of macrophages in the initiation, progression and resolution of inflammatory processes. The long term research interest is to elucidate the inflammatory signaling in macrophages during chronic and acute inflammation. Macrophage recruitment and plasticity are key components of several inflammatory diseases including asthma, fibrosis/cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate macrophage phenotypic plasticity in tissues is critical for the identification and validation of markers and therapeutic targets in inflammatory diseases.
