Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Lance Benson's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying chronic hypertension, particularly the role of immune cells and cellular processes in disease progression. His recent publications investigate how resident memory CD8+ T cells contribute to the persistence of hypertension and how cytokine-mediated macrophage transitions promote cardiac fibrosis in chronic hypertension. Benson has authored two publications to date, collaborating with Madison Clements on one of these works.
