Welcome to the Das Research Lab! Our lab is interested in understanding the crosstalk between epithelial cells, immune cells and microbes after exposures with toxicants and pathogens that lead to chronic inflammation. Using animal models and organoid based-disease models with microbe and immune cells, we can identify early biomarkers involved in the initiation of chronic diseases including IBD, unhealthy aging, and cancer. The application of nutraceuticals and personalized strategies can be utilized as preventive and therapeutic measures against disease.
