BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
I grew up in Lexington KY, received my undergraduate education at Emory University, then pursued my Ph.D. in developmental biology at Washington University in the lab of Dr. Stephen Johnson. I stayed at Washington University for my postdoctoral training in gastroenterology and host-microbiota interactions in the lab of Dr. Jeffrey Gordon. I started my independent laboratory in 2006 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then relocated my lab to Duke University in 2013.
