Research in the Department of Immunobiology is multidisciplinary in nature. We study the immune system and its pathologies, as well as the life cycles of microbes and their interactions with host cells. In that context, we are investigating the molecular mechanisms that drive immunity as well as the microbial mechanisms of infection and immune evasion. The overarching goals of our research are to: 1) understand how the immune system and microbes shape the continuum of healthy and diseased states across the lifespan; and 2) translate basic research findings into novel therapies for complex diseases.
