Research Focus
Dr. Neera Tewari-Singh's lab focuses on understanding the harmful effects of certain chemical agents known as vesicants, like mustard gas and phosgene oxime, specifically how they damage the lungs after skin contact. The lab aims to uncover the role of mast cells in this process, which could lead to new treatment strategies for those affected by these toxic agents. Their research is important for developing therapies for acute and long-term lung injuries caused by chemical exposure.
