Becky  Adkins, Ph.D. Becky Adkins, Ph.D.
Professor of Microbiology and Immunology
Research Summary
"We study the developmental regulation of the immune system in a pediatric murine model. Our studies focus on cytokine production, inflammation, infectious diseases, epigenetics, and both the systemic and intestinal immune systems."

Gregory E. Conner, Ph.D. Gregory E. Conner, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Cell Biology and Medicine; and Director of Research, Div. of Pulmonary and Critical Medicine
Research Summary
"Research projects are focused on basic epithelial cell biology especially as it applies to the respiratory tract. Projects include studies on epithelial host defense responses, secretion, ciliary beating and reactive oxygen species metabolism."
