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...
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...
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...
Our lab focuses on the molecular nature of innate immune interactions between microbial pathogens and the host. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved complex...
Bacterial pathogens that grow within human cells are responsible for multiple diseases and millions of deaths worldwide. The primary goal of our research...
