Galia Lab

Innovative Regulatory Mechanisms in Intestinal Innate Immunity

Our lab is focused on unraveling novel regulatory mechanisms that shape intestinal health and disease. We investigate the intricate roles of long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs), post-translational modifications, immunometabolism and host-microbiota interactions in shaping the complex dynamics of the intestinal microenvironment.
