Congratulations to Maayan for being named a Pew Biomedical Scholar! The Pew Biomedical Scholarships are awarded to support innovative ideas in the life sciences that have the potential to transform
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most frequent forms of cancer, and new strategies for its prevention and therapy are urgently needed. We identify a metabolite signalling pathway that provides…
We are greatful to the American Cancer Society for supporting our research. The American Cancer Society is helping our lab uncover the mechanisms underlying the interplay between diet and colorectal…
We are greatful to the Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation for supporting our research. The Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation was established in 1953 to help the human race through science and…
Congratulations to Maayan for receiving an NIH Director’s New Innovator Award! The NIH Director’s New Innovator Award supports high-risk high-reward projects that have a potentially broader effect on scientific understanding…
Congratulations to Maayan for being selected as a 2019 Searle Scholar. The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected universities and research centers to support the independent research of exceptional young…
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…
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…
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…
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…
