A major area of our interest is how eukaryotic cells sense and respond to stress in the form of damage to their genetic material. When cells incur DNA...
Bacterial pathogens that grow within human cells are responsible for multiple diseases and millions of deaths worldwide. The primary goal of our research...
The Lieberman laboratory studies the innate and adaptive immune response to infection and cancer. They seek to understand how cytotoxic T lymphocytes and...
The Mekalanos laboratory is engaged in the analysis of bacterial virulence and functional genomics. The goal of these studies is to understand how pathogenic... Read more about John Joseph Mekalanos
Though it has historically focused on fundamental biological questions, the Novina lab places a significant emphasis on identifying unmet medical needs...
The vertebrate immune system is capable of specifically recognizing and responding to an enormous number of antigens. The interaction with antigen is...
Why do we grow old? Why does aging cause disease? Can we slow aging or even reverse it? These are some of the greatest unsolved questions in biology....
We are exploring pathogen-host interactions, particularly in the context of animal models relevant to human infection of clinically important enteric...
