The Moore laboratory is part of the University of Michigan Medical School and is now housed in room 5608 Med Sci 2, 1150 W. Medical Center Drive., Ann Arbor, MI 48109-5620.
Dr. Moore has appointments both the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Moore is currently the Chair of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. Dr. Moore is the former director of the Graduate Program in Immunology.
Her laboratory is broadly interested in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis, the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity post-stem cell transplant and in the setting of diabetes and secondary bacterial pneumonia post-influenza. Her laboratory works with herpesviruses, influenza, coronavirus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and MRSA. The photo at the right is us in our new lab space!
