Abstract
Stephanie generated over 100 hookworm proteins, assessed their anti-inflammatory properties in a murine colitis model and further validated the top leads in a human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) assay. This work produced a novel, rapid drug discovery pipeline and a comprehensive library of hookworm derived immunotherapeutics for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
