Our lab studies the fundamental mechanisms of how commensal fungi survive and persist within a host niche filled with a multitude of innate and adaptive immune effectors, under both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions. We aim for our study to provide unique insights into human diseases, such as asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer, and provides the foundation for novel immunotherapeutic approaches.

Zaki Lab's research focuses on the the study of gastrointestinal inflammation and cancer.

The Sandstrom Lab works to identify the fundamental molecular mechanisms through which the immune system can recognize pathogens and stress. 

Our focus is on gaining a greater understanding of how bacteria on the skin surface affect skin health and diseases.

The Moreland and Potera Labs utilize basic science approaches, in vivo models, and clinical studies to investigate cellular functions of the innate immune system.

Burstein Laboratory focuses on understanding the regulation of the inflammatory response at a molecular level, and elucidating how these events may participate in human disease.
