Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine
Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology and Inflammation (VI4), Department of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics
Research Description
Our lab is interested in the immunologic and molecular mechanisms underlying atherosclerotic and cardiometabolic disease. In particular, we are interested in the reasons that the chronic inflammation underlying these diseases fails to resolve. We focus primarily on the functions of macrophages and T lymphocytes as well as the crosstalk between these two cell types.
Dr. Doran’s research interest is in the cellular-molecular biology of cardiomatabolic disease. In particular, she is interested in mechanisms by which the immune system modulates the development of advanced atherosclerosis and promotes the resolution of inflammation. In addition, she has a clinical interest in preventive cardiology and lipidology.
