Dr. Devlina Ghosh's research interests lie at the intersection of inflammation, macrophage activation, and metabolic regulation. She is particularly focused on unraveling the complex mechanisms by which macrophages and their central nervous system counterparts, microglia, become activated and contribute to immune-mediated pathophysiology. By studying the dynamic interplay between immune cell activation, metabolic reprogramming, and inflammatory signaling, she aims to gain deeper insights into how these processes shape disease outcomes. Of special interest is the role of macrophages in oral health and disease, where chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation significantly influence conditions such as periodontitis and other oral inflammatory disorders. Through this work, she seeks to identify novel mechanisms and therapeutic strategies that can modulate immune responses to promote oral and systemic health.
