Jun Huh is an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School in the PhD Program in Biological Biomedical Sciences. His research focuses on immune cell modulation as an attractive strategy for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. Inflammation plays a critical role in protecting against dangers such as cancer and microbes, but it also drives various human pathologies including autoimmune diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders. Huh's lab is particularly interested in identifying host- and bacteria-derived small molecules that can control inflammation in the mammalian gut. Furthermore, he aims to uncover the mechanisms by which nuclear hormone receptors regulate immune cell differentiation and function. His research also explores the dynamic interplay between the host immune system and gut-residing bacteria in pregnant mothers to understand how these interactions influence neural development in the developing fetus.
