Sebastian Winter, PhD

Research Interests: The Winter lab studies the chemical biology of host-microbe interactions, with a focus on gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases, such as enteric infections, inflammatory bowel disease, and colitis-associated colorectal cancer. The lab is investigating how the immune system shapes the metabolism of the gut microbiota, and vice versa. A better understanding of host-microbiota interactions is expected to aid in the development of novel, microbiota-targeting intervention strategies for inflammatory diseases.
