About Lillian Maggio-Price
Lillian Maggio-Price is a laboratory animal veterinarian who oversees the Veterinary Services Unit in Comparative Medicine that administers veterinary medical care to research animals housed at the University of Washington. Dr. Maggio-Price’s research centers on microbial triggers of inflammation and cancer in the gastrointestinal tract and associated immunologic responses. Specifically, her laboratory has used genetically modified mutant mouse models to study the role of bacterial organisms, such as Helicobacter spp. to initiate and sustain dysregulated immune responses believed to characterize inflammatory bowel disease. Inflammatory bowel diseases in man (Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) are characterized by chronic and relapsing inflammatory intestinal disorders and are associated with a higher risk of colon cancer. Her current work using smad3-null mice with TGF-beta dysregulation have been useful to study the protective effects of dietary vitamin D in the development of colon cancer. Most recently research efforts have focused on how infectious agents, like noroviruses, can affect inflammatory diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and atherosclerosis.
