Our lab investigates the critical role of immune cells in atherosclerosis. Through advanced single-cell biology platforms, we study human and murine arteries to identify new immune subsets and understand their biology and roles during disease progression. By integrating human plaque immunology with preclinical models, we aim to distinguish between pathogenic and reparative immune states, guiding the development of targeted therapies for cardiovascular disease. Our mission is to translate these findings to the human context, focusing on the immunology of human plaques.
