Daria Esterhazy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on the immune system's role in maintaining homeostatic conditions within the digestive system and its implications for various pathologies. She investigates immune niches in the gastrointestinal tract and their influence on tolerance and inflammation. Through her work, she aims to delineate the mechanisms that govern tissue-specific immunity, particularly in the context of the gut, pancreas, and liver. By employing techniques such as lymph node dissection and single-cell gene expression analysis, she seeks to enhance understanding of immune interactions and develop tailored therapies for diseases like type 1 and type 2 diabetes, pancreatitis, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Daria strives to create a deeper understanding of how immune cells can modulate responses in the digestive system and how these interactions affect disease progression.
