Dr. Cameron's laboratory focuses on understanding how naturally occurring genetic variation influences the developmental trajectory of inflammatory diseases. Her research emphasizes the interplay between cellular and molecular immunology, functional genetics, and clinical characterization. A significant aspect of her work involves the CRTh2 receptor of Th2 cells and the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in increasing the frequency of allergic conditions such as asthma. Dr. Cameron investigates how environmental factors like diet and viral infections might interact with genetic variations to modulate disease susceptibility and symptoms in severe asthma. Her research employs a variety of techniques including primary human T cell isolation and culture, flow cytometry, molecular cloning, and more, to explore these complex interactions systematically. Her lab is also open to recruiting post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and volunteers for ongoing research projects.
Streams include Archaeology and Bioarchaeology, and Sociocultural Anthropology.
