Research & Publications

Research Summary

Dr. Moller’s former research focuses on sarcoidosis. He was the senior investigator on a project that identified a possible protein trigger responsible for sarcoidosis, a potentially fatal inflammatory disease marked by tiny clumps of inflammatory cells that can leave deep, grainy scars on the lungs, lymph nodes, skin and other major organs in many thousands of Americans.
