The Davis laboratory studies innate immunity, focusing on neutrophil function. The central hypothesis of this work focuses on understanding the role of anion channels, including ClC-3 and IClswell, in neutrophil cell volume regulation, shape change and motility. Two key neutrophil functions-chemotaxis and phagocytosis-are analyzed using a variety of techniques and assays.
