Roni Nowarski, PhD
Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Current Grantee
The Nowarski lab studies what makes or breaks tissue inflammation with a focus on cytokine signaling, immunometabolism and innate immune memory.

Francesca Petralia, PhD
Assistant Professor, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Former Grantee
The Petralia lab focuses on developing novel computational methods for the integration of high-dimensional omic data to enhance the understanding of complex diseases.

Fiona Powrie, PhD
Professor, University of Oxford, Former Grantee
The Powrie lab is focused on understanding the interaction between the intestinal microbiota and the host immune system and how this mutualistic relationship breaks down in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and cancer.

Manuela Raffatellu, MD
Professor; University of California, San Diego; Current Grantee
The Raffatellu lab’s research focus is to understand the complex interplays between gut pathogens, mucosal immunity and the gut microbiota, with the long-term goal of discovering novel and effective therapeutic targets for controlling infection.

Gwendalyn Randolph, PhD
Professor, Washington University in St. Louis, Former Grantee
The Randolph laboratory seeks to understand how the clearance of cells and molecules from tissues impacts inflammation, disease states and organ physiology.

Meenakshi Rao, MD, PhD
Associate Professor, Boston Children’s Hospital, Current Grantee
The Rao lab investigates how the neural networks of the gut detect and use information about nutrients, microbes and hormones to regulate intestinal motility, immune responses and tissue repair.
