Simon Phipps

Dr. Simon Phipps’s research seeks to understand the innate immune processes that underlie the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, emphysema, and bronchiolitis.

In particular, Dr. Phipps is examining the relationship between the activation of innate pattern recognition receptors and the programming of appropriate and inappropriate T lymphocyte responses.

Both in vitro and in vivo model systems are employed to elucidate the role of danger molecules and/or pathogens in the development of respiratory diseases.

Dr. Phipps also has an interest in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the formation of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue and the contribution of this ectopic lymphoid tissue to host defence.
