Modeling Immunity to Enteric Pathogens

The Nutritional Immunology and Molecular Medicine Laboratory, located at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA, focuses on advancing the understanding of immune responses to enteric pathogens through innovative modeling and computational approaches. Their research encompasses various infectious diseases and immune-mediated conditions, employing both animal models and human studies to develop novel interventions.

With a strong emphasis on translational medicine, the laboratory explores the impacts of dietary components and host-targeted therapeutics on immune responses related to pathogens such as Helicobacter pylori, Clostridium difficile, and Enteroaggregative E. coli. Their projects leverage high-performance computing and sophisticated modeling tools to inform drug development and improve patient outcomes in the field of immunology.
