Current activity: I earned my M.D. degree at the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1983. I performed my residency in the Department of Pathology at the University of Michigan from 1983-1987, as well as a Postdoctoral Fellowship from 1985-1987.
Following that training, I joined the faculty of the Department of Pathology at the University of Michigan as an Associate Professor in 1987 and became a Staff Pathologist, Chief Grade, at the Veterans Affairs Health Care System in Ann Arbor in the same year. In 1993, I also was appointed an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, at the University of Michigan. I was promoted to Associate Professor of Pathology in 1994. In 2001 I was appointed Chief of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Ann Arbor VAHCS.
     My research interests involve immune and inflammatory responses and how cytokines and chemokines mediate those responses. Along with my research activities, I have served on the editorial boards for the American Journal of Pathology, American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, Journal of Immunology, and Inflammation Research.
