Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination
The marginalization of groups based on socially constructed categories of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and other identities produces biological consequences that contribute to health disparities in a variety of diseases and conditions, including many under the purview of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). For example, substantial racial and ethnic disparities exist in obesity, diabetes, and end-stage kidney disease. Racism, marginalization, and discrimination (RMD) is embedded into the structure of American society, which increases exposure to adverse social determ...

IIG Seminar - Chronic psychological stress and macrophage inflammation in atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the arteries that initiates through normal protective functions of the innate immune system, but goes awry through the failure to resolve macrophage inflammation in the arterial plaques. Dr. Fisher ’ s laboratory has pioneered multiple mouse models in which to study inflammation resolution in atherosclerosis. He has collaborated with a number of colleagues to apply these models to study mechanisms by which certain conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity, increase cardiovascular risk through their interference with plaque macrophage infla...
