Of particular interest are the cellular components and regulatory networks that interact dynamically within temporal, spatial, and pathophysiological contexts of innate immunity. 1. Systems biology of innate and adaptive immunity 2. Functional mapping of pathways associated with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and diabetes 3. Genetics of Crohn's disease, celiac disease and ulcerative colitis.
