Edana Cassol is an Associate Professor and the Graduate Chair in Health Sciences at Carleton University. She specializes in immunology and infectious disease immunometabolism. Her research employs a combination of immunological and biochemical approaches along with tissue engineering and optical imaging techniques, with the goal of understanding the interactions in diverse tissue microenvironments and developing new therapeutics. Current projects include evaluating mitochondrial reprogramming in antimicrobial immune responses, understanding microbial community interactions with tissue macrophages that contribute to delayed wound healing, targeting tumor-associated macrophages with oncolytic viruses to restore anti-tumor immune responses, and investigating macrophages and fibroblasts in lung fibrosis development. Having previously interned in South Africa, Cassol is particularly interested in global health, which influences her academic focus.
