Our mission

We coexist with trillions of microbes that inhabit our bodies, collectively known as the microbiome. The microbiome interacts closely with its host—shaping metabolism, modulating the immune system, and helping maintain homeostasis. Our laboratory aims to uncover how these host–microbiome interactions shape health and disease using genomics and bioinformatics approaches, with the ultimate goal of revealing disease mechanisms and guiding the development of more effective preventive and therapeutic strategies.
