Light and the Cellular Clock during Critical Illness

Presenter: Dr. Matthew Rosengart

Dr. Rosengart's lab has a long-standing record of examining the role of immunity in the systemic response to injury and infection, with particular interest in phagocyte biology, calcium homeostasis and signaling, mitochondrial dynamics and function, and circadian biology, using clinically relevant models of sepsis and trauma. Dr. Rosengart's collective training in the clinical, biological, and epidemiological sciences has provided him particular expertise in the conduct of translational studies, particularly those of a T1 nature.”
