Welcome to the LevyLab

We study the host-
microbiome interface

We use immunogenomics
and metabolomics

Welcome to the LevyLab

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.

The intestinal epithelium

We study new epithelial cell function in host-microbiome interactions

Metabolites

We investigate the role of microbiota-derived metabolites in host health and disease

Innate immunity

We explore new features of the intestinal innate immune response to the microbiota
