Our lab pioneers precision measurements for biology and medicine, with a focus on understanding interactions between microorganisms — such as pathogens and normal microbiota — and their human hosts. These interactions are central to infectious, inflammatory, and microbiome-related diseases. Yet, current tools are limited in their ability to measure these interactions spatially within tissues or non-invasively in patients. To address this, we combine principles from physics, genomics, and data science to develop methodologies that promise to transform diagnostics and therapeutics for microbiome and immune-related disease. Our tools, our team’s diverse expertise, and our collaborations enable us to uniquely tackle a wide array of topics. We are part of the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering and located on the beautiful Ithaca campus of Cornell University.
