The Story of UsThe RARPEG lab group has been going strong for over 15 years. The lab is spread between two locations on the lush, expansive campus of Michigan State University. We belong to the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the Life Sciences building and the
National Food Safety and Toxicology Center.
Most of the work done here focuses on
mechanisms of tissue injury

The "mother" and "father" of our group are Drs. 
(especially the liver), and the relationship between
inflammation and chemically-induced toxicity. Endotoxin
(lipopolysaccharide) is a staple to many of the studies because of its
production of a pronounced inflammatory response. Some students are
working with dual treatments of endotoxin and drugs such as 
model
of inflammation and tissue injury. Other students are taking a molecular
approach by looking at how the exposure of certain chemicals, such as
