Narayanan Parameswaran is a Professor in the Department of Physiology at Michigan State University, with a primary focus on innate immunity, inflammation, and cell signaling in relation to gut-bone pathophysiology. His research addresses the immunoregulatory mechanisms underlying inflammatory diseases, particularly sepsis and inflammatory bowel disease, with a special emphasis on GPCR regulators, such as arrestins and G-protein coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). Parameswaran collaborates closely with other labs to explore gut-bone signaling, employing various approaches, including probiotics, to modulate gut-bone axis interactions. His lab investigates the crucial role arrestins play in inflammatory diseases, having identified their context-dependent functions in mediating and inhibiting inflammation. Additionally, he explores the non-canonical roles of GRKs in the immune system, targeting these kinases for therapeutic applications in inflammatory disease treatment. Parameswaran's collaborative research with colleagues aims to elucidate how gut health influences overall bodily functions, particularly in relation to bone health during menopause and diabetes. His pioneering work continues to advance understanding in the fields of physiology and immunology through innovative research techniques and interdisciplinary collaboration.
