Summary

Our lab is exploring the role of the gut and tissue microbiome on systemic immunity in the context of complex diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer. Further we ask how we can use other environmental factors such as physical exercise and diet to tune microbiota metabolic output to modulate systemic immunity thereby changing cancer outcome.
