Alan Y. Hsu studies neutrophils, a type of white blood cell central to the body's immune response, focusing on how they mature, migrate, die, and communicate with other immune components like the complement system and inflammasomes. His work spans molecular mechanisms of cell death (such as pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory cell death), vesicle-based signaling, and neutrophil behavior during infection and inflammation resolution. This research combines cell biology, immunology, and biochemistry techniques including protocol development and imaging in model organisms like zebrafish.
