Research
Dr. Ardeshir's lab focuses on deciphering the complex interplay between the microbiome and host immune systems to enhance health and well-being. Employing rhesus macaque models and a systems biology methodology, the lab investigates microbiome dynamics and immune system development to uncover the mechanisms underlying host-microbiome interactions. This knowledge is harnessed to design practical interventions for preventing or treating infectious diseases.
