Mucosal Immunology Research Group
The body interfaces with the external environment through multiple barrier tissues, particularly within the gut and lung, where the immune system continuously senses, responds to, and regulates activity to maintain homeostasis. Our research focuses on the fundamental principles governing health and disease across the lung, gut, and nervous system, exploring how mucosal surfaces communicate with and influence neural pathways.
Our research
We employ a multidisciplinary approach, spanning mechanistic discovery through translational application. Projects range from preclinical models investigating host–microbe interactions and inflammatory processes to high‑performance computational analyses that identify clinical biomarkers and guide the development of novel therapeutic candidates. By integrating immunology, and systems biology, we aim to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underpin mucosal immune regulation and its disruption in disease.
