RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:

Our research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens establish enteric and systemic infection under different host conditions, leading to distinct disease severity and outcome. Likewise, we are interested in identifying protective cellular components from the host microbiota and immune system and deciphering how they prevent pathogen colonization or promote its eradication. For this, we primarily use mouse models of disease resembling human bacterial infection, as well as methods form microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, and high-throughput technologies.
