Brandon Quaid

Brandon Quaid is an Instructor of Biology with research expertise in immunology and molecular mechanisms of pleural diseases. His published work examines empyema pathogenesis, thrombin regulation in pleural mesothelial cells, and the role of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in pleural injury responses using murine models.

• PhD in Biological Sciences (dissertation on murine empyema models)

Quaid's research focuses on infection-induced pleural inflammation, coagulation pathway interactions, and cellular responses to lung injury. Collaborative studies investigate molecular signaling pathways involving PI3K and NF-κB in disease progression.
