Dr. Denisa Wagner
Edwin Cohn Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and the Head of the Wagner Lab Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital
Dr. Wagner has dedicated her career to the fields of vascular cell biology and the causes of inflammation and blood clots. For many years, her laboratory’s research has focused on adhesion molecules (cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings) and their function in normal physiology and in pathological situations. One of her labs’ current interests is the biology of neutrophil extracellular traps (networks of extracellular nuclear DNA) and the study of their production using time-lapse microscopy.
