Laboratory of ImmunoPhysiology

The MIT Department of Biology / The Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT & Harvard

Welcome to the Moura Silva Lab. Our Research is directed to the understanding of fundamental immune-related pathways that modulate organ and tissue physiology. By utilizing an innovative, multidisciplinary and intersectional approach, our lab seeks to unveil cellular and molecular circuits used by Macrophages and other immune cells that support the maintenance of organ and tissue homeostasis. The ultimate goal of our research program is to develop new strategies to tune these immune mediated molecular pathways in health and disease, leading to the development of much-needed therapeutic approaches for human diseases.
