This research also extends to the translational front using human monocytes and macrophages as well as human tissue specimens. The faculty member will engage in several projects in collaboration with other lab members related to the role of lysosomes in macrophage biology and atherosclerosis and obesity. His expertise in flow cytometry is very helpful in this regard as he is able to subtype the various immune cell classes, identifying their distinct roles in disease pathogenesis.
