We use methods in molecular biology, immunology, and structural biology to study host-pathogen interactions, with the goal of informing strategies aimed...
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...
Our goal is to understand the role of neuro-immune interactions in host defense and inflammation. The peripheral nervous system densely innervates barrier...
The Dong laboratory has a broad interest in microbial toxins, bacterial infections, and host-microbe interactions. We are also utilizing toxins as tools...
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) may be used to clone mice from lymphocytes of defined specificity. By harvesting as few as 200 primary lymphocytes...
The Dvorin Laboratory is part of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children's Hospital, the primary pediatric teaching hospital of Harvard Medical... Read more about Jeffrey D Dvorin
We work on positive strand RNA viruses, with a current focus on understanding how cells sense viral invaders to initiate an immune response. We also have...
* Salmonella persisters and their translational program during infection:We recently found out that Salmonella persisters that are multidrug tolerant bacteria... Read more about Sophie Helaine
Bacterial pathogens that grow within human cells are responsible for multiple diseases and millions of deaths worldwide. The primary goal of our research...
Research in the Howley laboratory is focused on the molecular biology of the papillomaviruses and the role of these viruses in carcinogenesis. Several...
Immune cell modulation is an attractive strategy for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. Inflammation is critical to protecting us from dangers...
