My laboratory uses the genetic model Drosophila melanogaster to study the host response to indigenous and pathogenic microbes using genomics, functional genetics and systems-level approaches. We focus on the integration of immune , growth and repair mechanisms. In addition, we study intestinal physiology, and focus on how intestinal stem cells integrate signals from their environment, including nutrients, stress, or metabolites from the microbiota
