The lab has opened in March 2018
We are excited to build a state-of-the-art environment for the study of host-microbiome interactions and epithelial cell biology. We are currently looking for highly talented and motivated scientists at all…
Understanding modern human disease is only possible from the perspective of the metagenome, the entirety of all microbial genomes associated with the human body. We study the interface between the host and its microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract, with a particular focus on microbiome-derived metabolites. We are a newly opened lab at the Microbiology Department, University of Pennsylvania.
We study new epithelial cell function in host-microbiome interactions
We investigate the role of microbiota-derived metabolites in host health and disease
We explore new features of the intestinal innate immune response to the microbiota
