Biography
Jessy S Deshane is currently an Associate Professor of Medicine at University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her work is focused on immune regulation by myeloid-derived regulatory cells (MDRCs) in chronic inflammatory lung diseases. Her team has recently identified and characterized free radical producing myeloid-lineage cells as master regulators of allergic airway inflammation. She is currently investigating the novel hypothesis that MDRCs can produce neo-antigens that trigger dysregulated immune responses in asthma.
