| Abstract | This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award will support research to study how a tissue’s mechanical properties regulate the innate immune response, specifically the population and function of what are termed neutrophils-a of innate immune cells. Neutrophil-a cells play a crucial role in clearing infections, healing wounds, and fighting disease. To perform these tasks, they must navigate complex tissues throughout the body. While the chemical signals that guide neutrophil function are w |
