Edana Cassol seeks to develop a comprehensive and quantitative understanding of the interactions between immune responses, cellular and systemic metabolic processes, and commensal bacteria. Her current research focuses on understanding the role of persistent inflammation and chronic innate immune activation in the development of co-morbid conditions in high risk and under-represented populations such as HIV-infected individuals, illicit drug users and aging populations. This work is performed in collaboration with researchers at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa Heart Institute, as well as international partners in the U.S., Italy and South Africa.
