My research interests include understanding how host-microbial interactions, including gastrointestinal infections, contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Over the years, my research has focused on understanding the relationship between host immune responses and the evasion strategies used by pathogens to establish successful infections in their hosts. My current research activities now combine my interests in both immunology and microbiology to gain new insights into the maintenance of gastrointestinal health and homeostasis.
