Congratulations to Dr. Meera Nair and her lab on their recent NIH grant focused on how RELM-α-expressing macrophages mediate host disease tolerance in mucosal infection. The proposed work will be done in collaboration with the Nordgren and Dillman labs at UCR. We’re excited to be spending more time working with the rat parasite Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. We’re also pleased to be extending our collaborative work with Dr. Nair and her lab; this is the third NIH-funded study that we will be working on with Dr. Nair.
