Research Focus
Dr. Elia D. Tait Wojno's lab at the University of Washington focuses on understanding how the body responds to gut parasites and allergens, especially in relation to inflammation. The research emphasizes the role of a specific lipid and its receptor, which are crucial in managing inflammation in the intestines. By studying how these factors interact, the lab aims to uncover new ways to treat conditions related to inflammation in the gut.
