Host: Aixa Alfonso
Abstract: My lab’s overarching goal is to decipher the peripheral neuroimmune interactions that drive inflammatory disorders associated with chronic itch, pain and airway inflammation. Our research addresses the following fundamental questions: Do peripheral sensory neurons in the skin and viscera contribute to the development of inflammation; How are neurons modulated by signals from epithelial cells and immune cells under distinct inflammatory disease states?; How do neurons influence the immune system and contribute to chronic inflammation? This talk will highlight the role of peripheral sensory neurons in the development of coronavirus-evoked pain and airway inflammation.
