In thisperiod, his major research interests were the role ofeicosanoids, leukotrienesandprostaglandins in the modulationofphagocytos is andmicrobicidal activity in alveolar macrophages challenged with IgG opsonizedtargets. Duringhis training, hewasawardedan American Lung Association Senior Post-doctoral Fellowship. Since 2009, Dr. Serezani hasbecome a junior faculty at theUniversity of Michigan and his research program deals with thep articipationof diferente G protein coupled receptor secondmessengers in thegeneration of microRNAsi nvolved in macrophage responses. His workisnowsupportedbythe American Heart Associationand NIH/NHLBI grants.
