Research interest
Dr. Panjit is interested in the skin immunology. The skin constitutes a complex network of physical, chemical, and microbiological barriers against external insults. Keratinocytes, the most abundant cell type in the epidermis, form the skin barrier that represents the first line of the host defense system by sensing pathogens via innate immune receptors, initiating antimicrobial responses and producing various cytokines, chemokines and antimicrobial peptides, which are important events in immunity.
