Zlitni Lab

Zlitni Lab

Research in the Zlitni Lab explores the role of microbial communication in the assembly and function of the human microbiome, with a particular focus on how these interactions protect the host from infectious agents. 

lab will combine microbiology, biochemistry, and advanced -omics technologies to investigate how microbial communication shapes both the assembly and function of the human microbiome. In addition to uncovering fundamental insights into microbial communication, the Zlitni lab aims to leverage this knowledge to develop live biotherapeutic interventions that restore microbiota resilience when it has been compromised.
