The Ismagilov lab focuses on interactions of microbes with humans and developing novel technologies to enable high-resolution quantitative measurements and computational analyses necessary to understand a wide range of complex systems.

Dr. Konnikova’s team focuses on the development of early life immunity particularly at barrier sites such as the gastrointestinal tract and the maternal-fetal interface with a particular focus on T cell biology. 

The Lee lab studies how tiny differences in our DNA predispose us to autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. By uncovering the biological mechanisms involved, they hope to better understand these conditions and find new ways of treating…

The Littman lab studies how information from the environment, including microbiota and metabolites, is relayed to cells of the immune system and how this is manifested in homeostatic processes as well as in pathological conditions.

The Mehandru lab focuses on multidimensional profiling of the mucosal immune system to understand the pathogenesis of IBD and determine what distinguishes individuals who respond to therapy from those who do not. They apply bioinformatics to analyze complex, high-dimensional data.

Dr. Muise’s clinical work and laboratory research is focused on understanding the genetic cause and function of identified genes in pathogenesis of Very Early Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
