Cary Austin

As a research pathologist, I use a combination of cutting edge molecular labeling and imaging technologies, in addition to more traditional tissue histology, to formulate and address tissue-based scientific questions contributing to the discovery and evaluation of new therapeutic targets, therapies designed specifically to those targets, and tissue biomarkers developed to predict therapeutic efficacy and/or monitor pharmacodynamic activity of the therapy. I’ve work collaboratively on many project teams over the years ranging from early discovery research through to late stage clinical trials. My focus is on allergic, inflammatory, and infectious diseases, with particular interest in asthma and systemic lupus nephritis.
