    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Our laboratory focuses on the mechanisms underlying sepsis and septic organ injury. We are particularly interested in the role of glycosaminoglycans (such as heparan sulfate) in the onset, propagation, and resolution of septic lung, kidney, and brain injury.
