Research: Inflammasomes are cytoplasmic multiprotein complexes that enhance the inflammatory response of the innate immune system. We have previously demonstrated that the phosphatidic acid phosphatase activity of lipin 1 promotes proinflammatory responses in macrophages. My project seeks to understand how macrophage associated lipin 1 regulates the activation of the inflammasome and the effects of this regulation on disease pathogenesis.
