Gary Eitzen is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at the University of Alberta. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Alberta. His research interests primarily focus on small GTPase signal transduction and the regulation of exocytosis, specifically its critical role in immune responses. Eitzen's lab studies the mechanisms by which small GTPases, particularly members of the Rab and Rho families, control exocytosis events. Current projects include investigating how Rho signaling regulates lymphocyte activation and exocytosis during infections and allergic reactions, as well as exploring signaling events in bronchial epithelial cells that contribute to lung diseases such as asthma and COPD. Eitzen has published several articles in leading scientific journals, contributing to our understanding of the role of Rho proteins in inflammation and exocytosis. His research aims to identify key signaling pathways that can be targeted for therapeutic interventions in allergic responses and inflammatory diseases.
