Biography and Research Interest

Colonization by bacteria is an important event in normal development and is required for maturation of the gastrointestinal tract, the immune system, and for establishment of proper digestive physiology. We are interested in investigating the role of the commensal flora in zebrafish development by examining the developmental programs of animals grown axenically or with defined flora.
