Involvement of CNS-infiltrating immune cells to the development of neurological disorders

We are a neuroimmunology lab interested in understanding how CNS viral infection contributes to neurological disorders / such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.

Not all E. coli Make You Poop! Investigating Recurrent ExPEC Infection

Our group studies Extraintestinal Pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) bacteria, a leading cause of urinary tract and bloodstream infections. We are interested in understanding ExPEC virulence mechanisms as well as how these bacteria survive being killed by antibiotics and cause recurrent disease.

Of Ruminants and Rats: Using Stable Isotopes to Probe Physiology

Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of elements that share the same number of protons but differ in their number of neutrons. Although chemically identical, isotopes vary in mass, and those mass differences influence how they partition in physical, chemical, and biological systems.
