Inflammation is the mammalian response to infection. Normally it is defensive and thwarts pathogenic assaults but occasionally it runs amok, leading to physiological chaos and death. We are interested in the regulation of the inflammatory pathway as mediated by various cytokines. We focus on the regulation of interleukin-1 by the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, determine its interactions with other cytokines and assay the cellular and molecular consequences when interleukin expression is altered. Transgenic mice and mice deleted for genes encoding these regulatory molecules have been generated and we utilize them as tools for deciphering these inflammatory pathways.
Cells use receptor mediated endocytosis to take up proteins from their environment, be it for antigen processing, polypeptide hormone signaling, nutrient supplementation, growth factor stimulation or receptor modulation. We are studying the endocytic pathway and receptor recycling using a molecular genetic analysis in the model organism, C. elegans. Our purpose is to identify new key molecular components in the pathway and to elucidate their structures and functions.

Bellevue Hospital is the oldest continuously operating hospital in America. We trace our roots back to 1736 when a six-bed infirmary opened on the second floor of the New York City Almshouse. This was just four years after the birth of George Washington and 40 years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Since its humble beginnings as a haven for the indigent, Bellevue has become a major academic medical institution of international renown. Over the centuries, we served as an incubator for major innovations in public health, medical science and medical education. Often referred to as a national treasure, Bellevue defines the very best traditions of public medicine as a public service vital to the well being of our civil society.
