Postdoc in the lab of @Jie_Immunology at UVA. Working on immunity to respiratory viruses | Virology PhD @WHU_1893
Charlottesville, VA
Joined March 2020
Thrilled to share that my work is now out in @ScienceMagazine ! We reveal how peroxisomes play a play a key role in macrophage-driven inflammation resolution and lung repair post-viral infection. Enhancing peroxisomal function helps mitigate pulmonary fibrosis from respiratory.

Good thoughts! Thank you for your interest in our work. We actually had a similar idea while working on it. Hopefully, we'll be able to share more answers soon.
There is so much we still need to understand about peroxisome-mitochondria crosstalk. I like to think if mitos are driving the car, peroxisomes are like the GPS. More & more evidence shows how mitochondrial function is infact guided through peroxisomal cues.
