Ruth Franklin is an Assistant Professor in Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on the immune system's role in responding to various insults and pathogens. Utilizing mouse models, her lab investigates how immune cells sense and respond to changes in the tissue environment, particularly in conditions such as infection, fibrosis, and cancer. Franklin's work emphasizes the critical role of macrophages, an innate immune cell type, in maintaining tissue homeostasis and modulating inflammatory responses. Through her research, she aims to elucidate the communication pathways between immune cells and non-immune cell types within tissues, including fibroblasts and neurons, to understand their contributions to both health and disease.
