My lab is interested in understanding fundamental mechanisms that regulate inflammation and its resolution. In particular, we investigate how lipid mediator production and innate immune cell function is altered in cardiometabolic diseases. Recently, we uncovered novel mechanisms by which exercise promotes the production of specialized proresolving mediators and macrophage phagocytic function, resulting in enhanced resolution of acute inflammation.
