OUR MISSION
We focus on the lung brain axis and the gut brain axis and the HPA axis. We grow pulmonary neuroendocrine cells and characterize their role in asthma and the neuro-dysfunction that occurs due abnormal behaviour of PNECS. We are also looking the effect of Asthma on inflammation in the brain and stress disorders, depression, anxiety and other mood disorders.
The Forsythe lab addresses cross-talk between components of the immune and nervous systems, and how such communication may influence the development of diverse pathophysiological responses such as inflammation, allergy and mood disorders.
