Curriculum Vitae

Dinesh Devadoss, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral research associate in the Lakshmana Lab. He is investigating the functional characterization of innate immune responses with novel long noncoding RNA and the biology of airway epithelial cells with respect to the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, bronchiolitis, and COPD. He is also studying the pathophysiology of latent HIV-1 infection and the harmful interaction with tobacco products resulting in HIV-associated lung and CNS diseases. In addition, he is involved in delineating the role of epithelial cell death and extrusion in chronic airway diseases and the role of noncoding RNAs in aging-associated lung and brain diseases, like COPD and Alzheimer’s.

His prior work at the Institute of Molecular Cardiology at the University of Louisville included the study of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cardioprotection afforded by gene therapy and myocardial regeneration using cardiac stem cell therapy. At the Department of Surgery at the University of North Dakota, he studied FAK-AKT interactions upon extracellular pressure-stimulated cancer cell adhesion and proliferation.
