Dinesh Devadoss conducts research in the Hitendra Chand Lab. He studies the innate immune responses to environmental exposures such as allergens, respiratory viral infections, tobacco smoke, E-cigarettes and tissue remodeling in chronic lung diseases such as allergic asthma, bronchiolitis, and COPD. He combines cellular, molecular and animal model approaches to investigate the roles of coding and non-coding transcripts as immunomodulators in these chronic diseases.
His research goals are to identify biomarkers and targets to improve therapeutic efficacy and provide novel intervention strategies to cure and manage chronic lung diseases.
