Welcome to the Buchon lab at Cornell University !


Sample images from ongoing projects in the Buchon lab


We study the genetic and cellular basis of host-microbe interactions, stem cell activity and gut physiology in different models: the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster and suzukii),  the mouse (organoids), and disease vectors (mosquitoes, ticks).
