Biography The overarching interest of our research is to investigate how mammalian cellular metabolism is dynamically reprogrammed during physiological transitions and in pathological conditions, and how such reprogramming of metabolism in turn affects cell function and fate. To pursue this, we combine systematic approaches, especially metabolomics, lipidomics and fluxomics, with targeted biochemical and genetic techniques. …
Biography Research Overview Viruses control cells in unexpected ways. They use a small number of proteins to redirect host pathways and cause large changes in the physiology of cells and organisms. In the Gaglia lab, we are interested in how virus-cell interactions play a role in the control and subversion of anti-viral innate immune responses, …

Biography RESEARCH SUMMARY Despite their importance in many areas, fungi represents a woefully understudied branch in the tree of life. The consequences of this deficiency on humans are no more apparent than in our lack of understanding of human fungal pathogens. Fungi now represents the fourth most common cause of hospital-acquired infection, and therapeutic options …
