Dr. Podell’s laboratory studies the pathogenesis of tuberculosis (TB) to better understand the host immune response to M. tuberculosis infection, known as the granuloma. Our laboratory focuses on identifying immune correlates of protection against M. tuberculosis, the influence of acquired risk factors on the spectrum of TB disease outcomes, and the influence of metabolism on host response to infection. Through this research, we aim to identify targeted responses for vaccine candidates and new approaches to host-directed therapy for improving the prevention and treatment of TB.
