Inflammatory Bowel Disease & Biomedical Research

Our Research Focus

Our research team focuses on immunology and biomedical-based research. We specialize in mucosal immunology and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We investigate mechanisms involved in disruption within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract which promote inbalanced inflammation to include studying gut microbial dysbiosis, GI host-cell defense responses, immune cell dysregulation, IBD-related sex differences, novel therapeutic approaches, and the gut-brain axis as it relates to inflammation-induced effects on mood and behavioral disorders.
