My scientific career is entirely focused on understanding the basic and translational biology of gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and enteropathogen infections, through immunological, microbiological, cellular and molecular approaches. As such, my research seeks to define the pathogenesis of IBD and find plausible manipulations that can be utilized to treat and/or cure IBD. I have over 20 years ofexperience studying the role of the gut microbiota and host immunity in the pathogenesis of IBD. My research aims to answer a fundamental question: how does the gut microbiota interact with host immunity in the context
of GI health and disease? Specifically, my research team focuses on the mechanism by which certain pathogenic members of the commensal microbiota promote chronic intestinal inflammation that leads to the development of IBD.
