Peter is Godfrey D. Stobbe Professor of Pathology at the University of Michigan Medical School.
When asked about his proudest achievement, Peter says, “We have long been interested in the complement system and the powerful C5a anaphylatoxin. Over the past several years, we have shown the C5a interacting with its receptors during infectious sepsis plays a key role in the features of human sepsis: lethality, high levels of cytokines, chemokines, and histones – all of which are linked to multiorgan failure.”
