Research in Dr. Xie’s laboratory focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms of immune regulation and cancer pathogenesis. Regulation of immune cell homeostasis and functionality is central to the proper functioning of
How do bacteria sense changes in their environment? How do they regulate their gene expression and adapt to different stresses such as exposure to antimicrobial agents? The Yadavalli lab is
Liping Zhao is currently the Eveleigh-Fenton Chair of Applied Microbiology at Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Director of Center for Nutrition, Microbiome, and health
Dr. William C. Gause received his bachelor’s from the University of Virginia and his Ph.D. at Cornell University (1986). After a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health, Dr.
Dr. Alland led the effort that resulted in the Xpert MTB/RIF Assay, the first on-demand, point-of-care TB test, and the first replacement for the acid-fast smear to diagnose TB in
Research in the Beaulieu Lab is focused on understanding the molecular and cellular signals that regulate immune responses by Natural Killer (NK) cells and “helper” innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). We
The Bergsbaken Lab studies a subset of CD8+ T cells that traffic to the tissue and persist there after infection or immunization. These tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) play an
The Bessman lab is interested in the interplay between the immune system and intestinal bacteria during health and disease. We recently discovered that the immune system carefully regulates iron levels
Our laboratory studies the interaction between the host and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB). Our goals are to characterize the lung immune response to Mtb, decipher
