The global aim of the laboratory is to elucidate the targets and mechanisms by which dietary fatty acids exert their effects on innate and adaptive immune responses. We currently have two major projects in the laboratory, described on our laboratory website.
Elucidating how different types of high fat diets modify limmune cell function
Elucidating how omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids modify the lateral organization of protein and lipid molecules of lymphocyte plasma membranes
