CONTACT:Prof. Jim Kaufman
DESCRIPTION:Research Interests: An ability to generate immune responses to
  invading pathogens is vital to our well being and survival yet over-vigor
 ous or inappropriate responses can lead to debilitating or life threatenin
 g conditions such as autoimmunity (e.g. diabetes\, rheumatoid arthritis) a
 nd allergy. Further\, as our understanding of disease develops we find tha
 t dysregulated inflammatory responses are associated with conditions as di
 verse as Alzheimer’s disease and obesity. An understanding of and an abi
 lity to control inappropriate immunity and inflammation lie therefore on t
 he path to successful treatment of these varied diseases. Maggie's own wor
 k uses a range of organisms from zebrafish to humans to study at the molec
 ular\, cellular and whole individual level not only the basis for disease 
 but also potential approaches to therapy.\n
