Current Projects

1. Development of mucosal immunity in the GI tract and alterations in this process in necrotizing enterocolitis 2. Influence of the microbiome on the development of mucosal immunity and how this process is altered in necrotizing enterocolitis 3. Metabelomics of Human Milk and its effects on sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis
