Description: Dr. Kamada’s laboratory is interested in understanding how the gut microbiota and host immunity interact in gastrointestinal health and disease. Specifically, they have focused on the mechanisms by which certain pathogenic members of commensal bacteria promote chronic intestinal inflammation that leads to the development of inflammatory bowel disease. Dr. Kamada and his group are investigating how potentially pathogenic members of commensal bacteria accumulate the gut and activate host immune cells. Likewise, Dr. Kamada is studying how beneficial commensal bacteria compete with these pathogenic bacteria and regulate intestinal homeostasis.
