Headshot of Carla Rothlin

Dr. Rothlin’s research focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the regulation of inflammation and the homeostatic control of immune function.

Eran Segal, Faculty, Weizmann Institute of Science

Dr. Segal is part of a multi-disciplinary lab of computational biologists and scientists focusing on microbiome, nutrition, genetics, and gene regulation in health and disease.

Headshot of Brigitta Stockinger

The Stockinger lab focuses on how environmental factors influence processes in the body such as tissue repair and differentiation and immune cell functions. Malfunction in these processes can aid the development of inflammatory diseases and cancer.

Headshot of Ronen Sumagin

The Sumagin lab is exploring the roles of innate immune cells in regulating intestinal homeostasis, wound healing, host pathogen interactions and cancer development. They are using various approaches to study leukocyte trafficking in mucosal tissues.

Jhimmy Talbot, PhD, Assistant Professor, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

The Talbot lab investigates how food and microbes are sensed by neurons in the gut and their influence on immunity, nutrition, and metabolism.

Headshot of Christoph Thaiss

The ThaissLab is interested in understanding the environmental impacts on human physiology. Deciphering the role of environmental and lifestyle elements will transform the ability to decode host-environment circuits that regulate physiology.

Headshot of Mark Travis

Dr. Travis aims to identify key cells and molecules that control immune responses in health and disease. He is focused on how myeloid cells control immune reactions in the intestine to understand what goes wrong during IBD and infections of the gut.

Andrew Wang, MD, Professor, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

The Wang lab aims to apply advances in engineering to improve disease treatment. They developed a novel approach to treat autoimmune diseases using lessons they learned and cutting-edge techniques like glycoengineering and tissue engineering.

Meghan Koch, Assistant Professor, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

The Koch lab studies maternal-fetal interactions, focusing on immunity, metabolism and the microbiota. They are working to identify novel pathways through which maternal-offspring interactions regulate neonatal health.

The Nowarski lab studies what makes or breaks tissue inflammation with a focus on cytokine signaling, immunometabolism and innate immune memory.
