My lab is interested in understanding the molecular pathways through which environmental toxicants alter the immune functions. We are also interested in investigating whether resveratrol, a phytoalexin found in grapes and red wines can be used as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, lupus, diabetes etc).
