Research

Maria Abou Taka’s research explores how the immune system shapes recovery, resilience, and long-term health outcomes. Her work spans three main areas:

  • Immunology – Examining macrophage regulation in pneumonia and the role of the immune system in healing.
  • Critical Care Medicine – Investigating cognitive changes following ICU recovery.
  • Transplant Research – Advancing strategies to optimize organ preservation, improve graft outcomes, and translate innovation into clinical care.
