Innate immunity against bacterial pathogens
The innate immune system is the first line in defense against microbial pathogens. We study how host defense proteins recognize and attack bacterial pathogens.

Bacterial evasion of host defenses
Pathogens and hosts are in a constant tug of war. We study how bacterial pathogens evade innate immune defenses.
Inflammation during bacterial infections
Inflammation is a potent immune defense, but can lead to severe tissue damage and sepsis. We study the mechanisms underlying bacteria-induced inflammation.
Antimicrobial strategies
Antimicrobial resistance of bacterial pathogens is rapidly increasing. We use our understanding of host-pathogen interactions to develop new strategies for combatting multi-drug-resistant bacteria.
