The Honda lab examines how gut microbiota and their metabolites regulate host physiology, and how they accumulate locally and systemically and influence many aspects of mammalian physiology, including immunity, metabolism and the nervous system.

The Lucas laboratory uses human genomics, patient-derived cells and mouse models to discover new and translationally relevant principles of immunology starting with patients suffering from diseases of the immune system.

The Mackay lab studies memory T cell responses, focusing on the signals that control tissue-resident memory T cell differentiation, to harness these cells to develop new treatments against infection, cancer and autoimmune conditions.

The Malik lab investigates genetic conflicts between genomes and within genomes. Such conflicts shape innate antiviral immunity and viral genomes over evolution and can be used to deduce design principles to enhance immunity against viruses.

The McCluskey lab focuses on Mucosal Associated Invariant T cells and other MR1-restricted T cells to explore their function, including modes of T cell recognition and new ligands recognized by these T cells in health and disease.

The McCoy lab studies how early-life exposure to intestinal microbes shapes immune development and affects susceptibility to immune-mediated disease. They also investigate microbiome pathways to inform therapeutic strategies and interventions.
