Our lab is interested in the complex interactions between the trillions of diverse microbes and the host in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. The host immune system has developed mechanisms to tolerate and maintain a symbiotic relationship with its community of microbes. In turn, the commensal microbiota plays a fundamental role in the education, induction, and maintenance of the host immune system.
