Our overall goal is to prevent children from suffering and dying from diarrheal illness, which currently causes the death of nearly half a million children a year worldwide. To do this, we use cutting-edge laboratory methods to understand how children’s immune system (and their microbiome – the “good bugs”) combat the “bad bugs” that cause diarrhea. From studying the biology of special white blood cells (called MAIT cells), to harnessing AI technology for guiding doctors’ care of diarrhea patients, to identifying how “good bugs” work, to figuring out the how “bad bugs” become resistant, we hope to reduce the burden of diarrheal illness and improve the health of children globally.

Artificial intelligence-enabled decision support for diarrheal illness

Building on our previous work using AI to help doctors decide whether to give antibiotics or not to a child with diarrhea, we are now working to use AI to improve healthcare worker- and caregiver-based assessment and management of dehydration due to diarrhea.

Harnessing MAIT cells for child health

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are special white blood cells that are activated by microbial metabolites and have both innate and adaptive properties. We are using organoids and cutting-edge molecular biology methods to understand the regulation of these cells and how they can be harnessed to treat and prevent infections and cancer.

Immune responses to commensals in early life

Building on our knowledge of how the immune system develops and responds against pathogens, we are studying the development of immune responses against the microbiota, and the role they play in the health of children.
