Adil Bhat joined the Reed Lab as a postdoctoral scholar in October 2020. His research focuses on deciphering the complex biological interactions that drive liver transplantation reperfusion damage. The research project he is currently working on is 'Innate and Adaptive Immune Mechanisms of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) in Transplantation'. The goal of his project is to identifying the DAMPs, cofactors, and pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) responsible for myeloid cell plasticity and alloreactivity following liver IRI. Understanding the effects of DAMP/PRR signaling on cellular and humoral alloimmunity would allow for the development of therapeutic treatments and, may improve liver transplant outcomes.
