Abstract: Diet is a major driver of the gut microbiome, yet the microbiome-mediated mechanisms that link diet to various diseases are poorly understood. Our research is focused on discerning these mechanisms and the underlying immunological processes via interactions of the microbiome with the colonic mucus barrier, which serves as a first line of defense. Since the modern diet of developed nations includes significantly reduced dietary fiber, our lab seeks to understand how the fiber-deprived gut microbiome impacts our health, and contributes to the increased pathogen susceptibility, autoimmunity and food allergy. We aim to design dietary therapeutics to engineer the gut microbiome for better health.
