Matthew E. Long's research focuses on how immune cells, particularly macrophages, drive inflammation in chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, COPD, and bacterial lung infections. A recurring theme is targeting cell-signaling pathways (like MEK1/2) and testing drugs (such as CFTR modulators and gallium compounds) to reduce harmful inflammation while preserving the body's ability to fight infection. Work also extends to broader topics including gene editing safety and genetic risk factors in other diseases.
