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).

---

--> We study cell dynamics in the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti

---

--> ​We use mouse organoids as a tool to study intestinal stem cells in action

---

--> ​We study the impact of nutrients on organ size (nanoCT reconstruction)
