In our laboratory at UC Davis we investigate the mechanisms leading to autoimmunity and food allergies.
In particular,

• We study the pathogenesis of PRIMARY BILIARY CIRRHOSIS (PBC), an autoimmune disease of unknown origin that leads to progressive destruction of small bile ducts within the liver.
• We investigate the mechanisms leading to specific FOOD ALLERGIES.

The Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Lab at UC Davis is a multi-discipline group involving scientists from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, China, France, Italy, and includes intermittent guests from South America and other European countries.

The overarching goal is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying nervous and immune system interactions in neurodevelopmental disorders including autism and schizophrenia.
