Research Interests: The Link Laboratory studies how nutrition, the microbiome, and genetic diversity shape the immune system in both health and chronic inflammatory disease. Using a combination of mouse models and human patient samples, we investigate how these factors influence immune function at multiple levels starting from the overall immune responses all the way to exploring the underlying transcriptional and epigenetic programs. To achieve this, we integrate advanced bulk and single-cell multi-omics approaches with cutting-edge computational analyses.
