Descripción

Translational Inflammation links laboratory and clinical data within primary and secondary care to clinical research data and offers a holistic and innovative approach to chronic inflammation and ageing. Understanding the role of inflammation as a part of clinical disease states is becoming a valuable tool in both direct treatment and the development of therapeutics. Translational Inflammation, the 4th volume in the Perspectives in Translational Cell Biology series, offers content for professors, students and researchers across basic and translational biology.

Puntos claves

  • Emphasizes the role of inflammation in disease and therapeutic approaches
  • Integrates broad concepts relating inflammation to other fields
  • Offers a bridge to review literature and primary research on the inflammatory response towards medical application

Jeffrey K. Actor

Jeffrey K. Actor, PhD, holds the title of professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School at Houston Texas. Dr. Actor received his PhD from the University of Massachusetts. His research interests include examination of host immune responses during parasitic disease, understanding proinflammatory and regulatory cytokines during infections, vaccine development, and molecular mechanisms of immunomodulation. Over the past 25 years, he has established himself as a productive educator-scientist (tenured, full Professor) with a strong background in immunology and molecular biology, with a broad range of expertise in pathobiology and clinical disease.
