The research efforts in the laboratory are directed towards understanding the molecular basis of pathogenesis of human infections caused by opportunistic...
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 interested in mechanisms whereby bacterial pathogens cause disease and in defining and testing immune protective mechanisms relevant to prevention...

Despite years of research, tuberculosis remains a leading killer, causing almost two million deaths each year worldwide. While the treatment for drug-...
Research in our lab uses a combination of cellular and molecular approaches in the analysis of T-cell responses to bacterial pathogens. Many virulence...
We are exploring pathogen-host interactions, particularly in the context of animal models relevant to human infection of clinically important enteric...
Commensal intestinal bacteria participate in digestion of the host diet, provide essential amino acids and vitamins, and secrete metabolites that control...
