PI: Mark WurfelProject Number: 1K23HL072923Project Dates: 9/8/2003–8/31/2008 The major scientific goal of this proposal is to determine the relative role that genetic mechanisms play in controlling inter-individual variability in inflammatory responses to bacterial products and to characterize the role of specific genes in determining this variability. The proposed studies will focus on inflammatory responses to bacterial […]
