Research Areas

Combing the manipulation of Drosophila and the mouse, at present our lab mainly focus on the regulation of intestinal eco-immunological homeostasis including three aims: 1) Innate immune signaling homeostasis: to identify new regulatory factors and to determine network regulations of mucosal innate immunity, especially to decipher the inter-organ communications to coordinate local-systemic immune signal transduction; 2) Cellular homeostasis: to study the damages initiation and stem cell mediated tissue repair of intestinal epithelia during combating pathogens; 3) Commensal flora homeostasis: to learn corporately the change pattern and the immunological regulation mechanisms of gut commensal microflora and the fat/energy metabolism.
