Our research is broadly focused on interactions between the immune and metabolic systems, an emerging field referred to as immunometabolism. We employ a variety of mouse models of disease, including multiple sclerosis, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, infection, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
