General research interests:

The research in my laboratory investigates the control of immune responses and how alterations in these responses contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease. In particular, our focus is on the mechanisms of activation and regulation of inflammatory signaling by the bacterial sensor protein Nod2 in immune cells and the gut.
