Our laboratory studies mucosal immunology of the intestines. In particular, we are studying the role of lymphoid cells present in the intestinal epithelium during normal and disease conditions. Our goal is to determine the impact of these cells in intestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
