Welcome!

We are an interdisciplinary immunology, microbiology and parasitology lab based in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada. 

We are interested in understanding how the inhabitants of our intestinal tract can affect the development and function of the mammalian immune system, and how this can affect susceptibility to various infectious, inflammatory, and allergic diseases.

We acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
