Welcome
Research in our laboratory focuses on understanding the interplay between cellular signaling and metabolic regulation that dictate immune cell activation during inflammation.
The goals of our work are to determine the specific environmental cues, nutrient changes and/or unusual metabolites that can control the metabolic and epigenetic programs to selectively impact innate immunity in inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Along with the skin, the gut mucosa represents the first line of defense against environmental factors. In the gut mucosa, a recently discovered type of lymphocytes called innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) maintain tissue homeostasis, orchestrate tolerance to food or commensal bacteria and contribute to immune responses to pathogens.
