Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Christoph Mora's research focuses on the immunological mechanisms underlying hypertension. His work investigates the role of specific immune cells, such as CD8+ T-lymphocytes, and signaling pathways, including the IFNγ-PDL1 axis, in the development and progression of hypertension, particularly in salt-sensitive models. He has explored how these immune components interact with kidney and heart tissues to contribute to the disease. Mora also examines the involvement of P2X7 receptor-mediated activation of T cells in promoting hypertension. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and he has a notable record of collaboration with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Katherine Deck, Shengyu Mu, Yunping Guo, and Tonya Rafferty.
