Research Interests

Using mouse model and human patients with Gaucher disease, the major focus of investigation in the Dr. Pandey laboratory is to study the 1) Role of immunological cells i.e.,dendritic cells, macrophages, neutrophils, T,  and B lymphocytes and their competence for glucosylceramide (GC) accumulation. 2) Using these cells to evaluate the impact of GC in induction of several innate and adaptive immune responses. 3) Uncovering downstream signaling critical for immunological inflammation in Gaucher and othe...
