We use methods in molecular biology, immunology, and structural biology to study host-pathogen interactions, with the goal of informing strategies aimed...
Work in the Barczak lab focuses on the molecular pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. After COVID-19, tuberculosis is the leading cause of death...
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...
The Bhattacharyya lab focuses on characterizing the response of pathogens (bacteria and fungi) to antimicrobials, and of patients to systemic infections,...
Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunobiology
Our goal is to understand the role of neural-immune interactions in pain, host defense, and immunity. It is increasingly clear that microbes and immune...
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...
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...
Our lab focuses on the molecular nature of innate immune interactions between microbial pathogens and the host. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved complex...
The Hacohen lab consists of immunologists, geneticists, biochemists, technologists, physicians and computational biologists working together to develop...
Bacterial pathogens that grow within human cells are responsible for multiple diseases and millions of deaths worldwide. The primary goal of our research...
