Mirsaeidi Laboratory (Lung Inflammation, Exosomes and Phage)

Led by Mehdi S Mirsaeidi · Medicine (Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine)

Auto-generated from UF undergraduate research symposium abstracts

What we study

The lab studies the immune system in the lung, in diseases such as sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease and lung infections. Projects test anti-inflammatory compounds, use bacteriophages (viruses that kill bacteria) against drug-resistant germs, and study exosomes as diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
