Biography

Charlotte Summers is affiliated with the Cambridge Immunology Network and focuses her research on the mechanisms governing neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions and their roles in pulmonary inflammation. Her work examines the critical differences between pulmonary and systemic circulations, particularly regarding leukocyte migration and the interaction of neutrophils within the pulmonary microcirculation. Dr. Summers has established that the healthy human pulmonary vasculature is vital in host defense by selectively trapping neutrophils and regulating their re-entry into the circulation. Other significant aspects of her research include delineating the mechanisms of neutrophil-de-priming and the implications of these processes in patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). She aims to develop effective therapies for managing pulmonary inflammation in critically ill patients, with an emphasis on enhanced understanding of the endothelial landscape in lung physiology.
