Work in the Rachel Damico Lab explores topics within the fields of vascular biology and pulmonary medicine, with a focus on acute lung injury and apoptosis in lung diseases. Our studies have included examining idiopathic and scleroderma-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension, vascular receptor autoantibodies, and the link between inflammation and the Warburg phenomenon in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. We have also researched the inhibitory factor of macrophage migration and its governing of endothelial cell sensitivity to LPS-induced apoptosis.

At the Suman Paul laboratory, we are focused on developing new antibodies and cell therapies for cancer treatment. Our team of researchers are dedicated to identifying novel targets, mechanisms for cancer therapy and developing innovative solutions to improve patient outcomes. We work closely with basic science researchers and clinicians to accelerate the translation of our discoveries into clinical practice.
