Hawiger Lab
The Hawiger Lab is focused on inflammation, a mechanism of human diseases caused by allergic, autoimmune, metabolic, microbial and physical insults that produce distinct types of inflammatory responses.
This etiologic view of inflammation informs its classification based on a cause-dependent mechanism as well as cause-directed therapy and prevention.
