Dr. Phipps' research investigates several diseases involving immune and inflammatory components. He studies B cells and B cell lymphomas and how they are influenced by lipid mediators called prostaglandins. His laboratory also studies abnormal inflammatory and wound healing responses in the orbit of the eye (thyroid eye disease) and the lung (scarring) that involve fibroblast biology. Finally, he and his colleagues study platelets and their emerging role in inflammatory diseases such as diabetes and lung disease.
