Welcome!

Welcolme to our lab blog! 

Our lab has three main foci of research:

a) on the evolution of autoimmune and infectious diseases, as well as sensory systems in mammals (with the Davalos lab at SBU Ecology and Evolution)

b) on the role of lipids in MS (with Stony Brook Medicine MS Center and Dept of Pathology) and,

c) the histomorphology of trauma in decomposed and cremated tissues (with Dr. Petraco and Peter Diaczuk, John Jay College of Criminal Justice) 

Our posts will not just be about the science produced at the lab, but also the people, fun activities, achievements, set-backs (negative results!) and the everyday life of a diverse lab.

Together with the Davalos Lab, we believe that every student in our labs should have a rounded education. This is why a stay at our labs is not just about the science our students will produce, but also about philosophy, economics, sociology, anthropology, music, literature, the plastic arts, and many more fields as all will have bearing on their research and more importantly, on their lives as scientists.
