About the Eliceiri Lab

The Eliceiri lab uses state-of-the-art analytical and genetic technologies for the analysis of immune cells that mediate the resolution of the inflammation response. The neural regulation of immune cells is a mechanism that bridges inputs from the brain with the inflammation response-a resolution mechanism that is dysfunctional in cancer and following severe injury. With similarities to the neuronal synapse, the exosome regulation of immune cells is a mechanism that releases inflammatory factors from epithelial cells and macrophages into the circulation that act upon distal immune cells.
