Anuradha Ray, PhD

Summary

Dr. Ray's primary research interest is in immune regulation of inflammatory diseases of the lung and the gut. Early research from her laboratory led to the identification of NF-kB as a target for glucocorticoid-mediated repression of gene expression and the discovery of GATA-3 as a master regulator of Th2 cells. More recent work from her laboratory has identified a key role for Tregs expressing membrane-bound TGF-beta with cross-talk with the Notch pathway in the regulation of immune tolerance in the airways.
