My research interests are focused on studies whereby we aim to understand the molecular basis of individual variability to disease susceptibility. Our model system is the human surfactant proteins with special emphasis on the surfactant protein A, which is involved in innate immunity and the regulation of inflammatory processes in the lung as well as in other functions of the lung
