Building upon the division’s strong legacy in the field of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Dr. Longman will oversee and expand clinical, research and educational activities at the JRC.
The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against invading pathogens, but there has been a lack of information on what a “healthy” innate immune system looks like.
Dr. Guo’s lab will use a combination of bioinformatics, bacterial genetics, metabolomics, and mouse models to identify the molecular mechanisms behind host-microbiome interaction.
In his new role, Dr. Brown will continue to provide expertise as a Clinical Director while developing programs in faculty development across all of the department’s missions.
The project, set to begin in January 2018, is focused on determining whether the chemopreventive effects of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib are exerted, in part, through altering the intestinal microbiota and gut luminal metabolites.
Dr. David Cohen's laboratory is leading the frontiers of molecular regulation of nutrient metabolism and energy homeostasis by membrane lipids, with an emphasis on state-of-the-art research and novel collaborations.
