Laboratory of Host-Microorganism Interaction

RESEARCH GROUP'S MISSION:

Our primary objective here in the laboratory of host-microorganism interaction is the search for novel molecular mechanisms and physiological responses and cues in the complex biochemical talk that takes place between the microbial world and its vertebrate hosts. We focus on the innate immune response and inflammatory phenomena surround some infectious and noninfectious diseases and how host/pathogen factors communicate in the event of pathogenesis. We are also keen on how our mutualistic microbial communities participate in the myriad events of immune and physiological response shaping and consolidation.
