Research Description
The Newcomb lab's research is focused on mechanisms driving lung inflammation and asthma pathogenesis. Asthma is a chronic disease with many different phenotypes that disproportionately affects women, yet the mechanisms driving asthma pathogenesis remain unclear. Our lab's primary line of research determines how sex hormones regulate innate and adaptive immune mechanisms that lead to increased airway inflammation, mucus production, and airway hyperresponsiveness – the hallmarks of asthma. The lab also has projects focused on nasal airway epithelial cell responses to allergens and/or viral infections as well as the impact of obese and altered metabolism on airway inflammation in asthma. Combined, our research efforts will provide personalized therapeutic targets and mechanisms needed to treat patients (particularly women) with uncontrolled asthma.
This lab is unique in that we use asthma as a model system to study basic immunology and how sex hormones regulate T cells and cells in the innate immune system. Other diseases, including multiple sclerosis and lupus, also have a female predominance. Therefore, our findings may apply to a number of different diseases.
