Peter W . Abel

Professor

Professor

Dr. Abel’s laboratory focuses on peripheral nerve regulation of tissue functions as drug targets for treatment of disease. Currently, the role of G protein coupled receptors and their signaling mechanisms controlling airway and vascular function are being studied in asthma, pulmonary hypertension and other conditions. Learn more about Dr. Abel’s research.
