Mashkoor Choudhry

Dr. Mashkoor Choudhry is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Loyola University's Stritch School of Medicine. His research investigates gut immunity and epithelial barrier function following injuries such as alcohol exposure and burns. He explores how compromised intestinal barriers contribute to bacterial translocation and organ failure in trauma victims.

Key research areas include:

• T-cell mediated immunity against gut-derived bacteria
• Neutrophil roles in tissue defense and damage
• Epithelial cell mechanisms in bacterial resistance
• Gut microbiome alterations post-injury

His work has clinical implications for preventing multiple organ failure in burn and trauma patients through gut barrier preservation.
