This research area focuses on using current animal models and identifying and developing new animal models to test the effectiveness of herbal anti-inflammatory products or immunomodulatory herbal products. We also use ultrastructure to investigate the effect of the disease itself (e.g. investigating the ultrastructure of lungs of asthmatic animals) and then to determine the effect of herbal products on cells and organs of both controls and affected animals. Proteomics is also used to compare protein maps of the organs from healthy animals to protein maps of sick animals (e.g. asthmatic animals) and asthmatic animals treated with herbal anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory herbal products. The systems biology approach is used in this research area.
