Research Interests

Dr. Jayaraman’s research focuses on investigating molecular mechanisms underlying inflammatory diseases and bacterial infections using integrated experimental (gene and protein profiling, microfluidic cell culture) and modeling approaches. Current research projects include systems biology of interleukin-6 signaling in liver inflammation; metabolic engineering and proteomics of adipocytes during hypertrophic enlargement; and role of quorum sensing signaling in bacterial communication and infection.
