Shalaka Metkar
Profile
Our lab is working on the role of innate immune receptors in inflammation.
My current project involves the study of interactions of CD14 with endogenous ligands that may play a role in tissue damage. I use the Yeast-2 hybrid,mammalian-2 hybrid and Coimmunoprecipitation techniques as well as functional assays for studying these interactions.
