Our lab explores the following topics with a focus on the mucosal interface:

1. Interactions of the commensal microbiota with eukaryotic viruses (such as murine norovirus or MNoV) and bacterial pathogens, and the regulation of these interactions by the intestinal innate immune system.

2. Interactions between the bacteria and bacteriophages of the microbiota, and exploration of how bacteriophages may interact with human cells.

3. Exploration of the effects of the microbial exposome (microbiota and pathogens) on the maturation and maintenance of the hematopoietic and immune systems.
