Dr. Shannahan investigates mechanisms of toxicity in susceptible subpopulations contributing to exacerbated health affects following environmental, occupational, and biomedical exposures. These mechanistic studies examine immune, pulmonary, cardiovascular, and oral health outcomes utilizing a variety of models spanning cell culture, animal models, and humans. Specifically, his research examines how lipid dysregulation contributes to inflammation and toxicity following exposures in susceptible subpopulations. Through a comprehensive understanding of these lipid-mediated mechanisms of toxicity and disease, treatments can be developed to target these pathways addressing disease progression and susceptibility.
