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...
Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunobiology
Our goal is to understand the role of neuro-immune interactions in host defense and inflammation. The peripheral nervous system densely innervates barrier...
The Dvorin Laboratory is part of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children's Hospital, the primary pediatric teaching hospital of Harvard...
Gregor Mendel Professor of Genetics and of Medicine
A major area of our interest is how eukaryotic cells sense and respond to stress in the form of damage to their genetic material. When cells incur DNA...
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...
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...
Our lab focuses on the molecular nature of innate immune interactions between microbial pathogens and the host. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved complex...
* 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...
