Michael Freeman

Michael Freeman, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases & HIV Medicine at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine, affiliated with the Center for AIDS Research. His research focuses on understanding immunity and immunopathogenesis during infections, aging, and inflammatory disorders, particularly in people living with HIV. The lab employs cellular immunology techniques like flow cytometry and in vitro cultures to study T cells and monocytes' roles in disease mechanisms.

Dr. Freeman's work bridges clinical samples and experimental models to elucidate how pathogens and chronic inflammation drive immune cell activation, contributing to HIV-associated comorbidities. His expertise spans translational research in infectious diseases and immunology, with a focus on human immune responses.

No specific grants, awards, or student advisees are listed in the provided information. His laboratory is actively investigating pathways linking chronic inflammation to immune dysfunction in chronic infections and aging populations.
