Bacterial cells come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Within a given class, however, cells typically grow and divide in such a way as to maintain...
Bacterial pathogens that grow within human cells are responsible for multiple diseases and millions of deaths worldwide. The primary goal of our research...
The overarching goal of the Jost lab is to define the molecular mechanisms of host-microbiome communication using a combination of systematic CRISPR...
Ancient signaling pathways lie at the base of the initiation of immunity, serving to transmit signals from Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) to trigger...
William Ellery Channing Professor of Medicine and Professor of Immunology
My laboratory has long been interested in the interactions of microbes, both commensals and pathogens, with the immune system. Our overall major research...
We are working to understand how cells respond to pathogens, and how these signaling pathways can be harnessed for new potential therapies to treat cancer...
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
in situ single-cell transcriptomic techniques offer the exciting ability to characterize gene expression within single cells in their native tissue context.... Read more about Jeffrey Moffitt
We are exploring pathogen-host interactions, particularly in the context of animal models relevant to human infection of clinically important enteric...
