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…
New review in Nature Reviews Immunology
Throughout the past century, we have seen the emergence of a large number of multifactorial diseases, including inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic, neoplastic and neurodegenerative diseases, many of which have been recently…
New paper on epithelial-microbiota interactions in Cell
The intestinal microbiota undergoes diurnal compositional and functional oscillations that affect metabolic homeostasis, but the mechanisms by which the rhythmic microbiota influences host circadian activity remain elusive. Using integrated multi-omics…
New paper on NLRP6 in Cell
Host-microbiome co-evolution drives homeostasis and disease susceptibility, yet regulatory principles governing the integrated intestinal host-commensal microenvironment remain obscure. While inflammasome signaling participates in these interactions, its activators and microbiome-modulating mechanisms…
