manipulate the innate immune
response of the
host.
Malcolm's main research interest lies in determining and examining the
host / pathogen interactions that initiate and control immune
responses, how these interactions can be beneficially
manipulated, and, ultimately, their practical application within disease control programs.
These results suggest that C. rodentium
manipulates host metabolism to evade innate immune
responses and establish a favorable gut ecosystem.
