Innate Immunity, Microbiome, Intestinal Inflammation and Obesity/Diabetes
Bio
Andrew Gewirtz specializes in research on innate immunity, microbiome, intestinal inflammation and obesity/diabetes. Inflammation plays a central role in many disease states, and his goal is to understand the normal mechanisms by which pro-inflammatory signals protect against microbes and discern how they go awry in disease states. His primary area of focus is on the intestinal epithelium.
