In this Grand Rounds, he presents a lecture on the immunobiology of eosinophilic leukocytes. Dr. Weller is an immunologist specializing in eosinophils and their role in inflammation and disease. His research interests include defining mechanisms by which eosinophils interact with other cellular elements of the immune system to govern immune responses and synthesis and release of cytokines.
