Mice live 3 years, dogs 15 years and humans 100 years. How does Nature change the lifespan of species? We are trying to uncover the molecular basis for...
My lab studies the interplay between the gut microbiome and the immune system and how their “miscues” can lead to autoimmune diseases, particularly type 1...
Despite the growing recognition of the importance of the microbiota to humans, there are fundamental aspects of the microbiota and its relation to the...
Elliott T. and Onie H. Adams Professor of Biochemistry and Systems Biology
What can we build with biology? We use a synthetic biology approach to understanding biological systems through design, making new biological structures...
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....
My research focuses on understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype, with a special interest in how biochemistry, molecular design, and...
We are exploring pathogen-host interactions, particularly in the context of animal models relevant to human infection of clinically important enteric...
