Our lab is embedded in the Department of Molecular Biology, Princeton University.

​

We study two fundamental questions in immunology:

1. How does maternal immunity adapt across reproductive stages—from pregnancy and lactation to postpartum?

2. How do maternal environmental exposures shape the development of the offspring’s immune system?
    

Our motivation to study maternal-offspring immune crosstalk is threefold:

1. To mitigate pregnancy complications and improve women’s health;

2. To determine the origins of immune disorders and improve long-term health trajectories in children;

3. To understand how interactions with environmental factors have shaped the evolution and sophistication of the immune system.
