My lab focuses on the mechanisms that underlie microbiome-associated disorders. We apply systems biology and precision engineering to develop microbiome-base diagnostics and therapeutics.
My laboratory focuses on the impact of pathogens and the microbiota on body homeostasis. We use systemic infection as a model for septicemia, and the gut response to infection as a model for mucosal ...
