Soman Ninan Abraham is a Grace Kerby Distinguished Professor in the Department of Pathology at Duke Cancer Institute. His research focuses on developing innovative approaches to mitigate microbial infections by studying the molecular interactions between pathogenic bacteria and immune epithelial cells. His laboratory investigates how the crosstalk between bacteria and host cells affects the outcomes of infections, which can dictate the severity of pathology associated with an infection. Key areas of exploration include the role of mast cells in modulating immune responses to microbes and the mechanisms by which pathogens such as Uropathogenic E. coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Yersinia pestis evade the immune system. His work aims to unravel the intracellular host defense activities against infections and to design strategies that enhance the host’s immune response without adverse effects. Abraham's research is characterized by a deep commitment to understanding the intricate cellular mechanisms that underlie infectious diseases and immune responses.
