Irah King is a Professor and Fonds de Recherche du Québec Scholar at McGill University, specializing in the field of Microbiology and Immunology. With a focus on mucosal immunology, her research program aims to understand the complex immune-microbial interactions that promote intestinal health in various settings, including parasitic helminth infections, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic inflammatory disorders. Dr. King's work involves utilizing diverse experimental approaches, including animal models of disease, human tissue samples, intestinal organoid cultures, and deep sequencing of microbial and host gene expression patterns. Her ongoing studies explore innate and adaptive immune responses to various pathogens, immune cell regulation, mechanisms of disease tolerance to infection, and the lifelong impact of early life immune-microbial interactions on health. Additionally, she is dedicated to identifying and validating the functions of microbiomes in relation to human health and disease.
