Shipra Vaishnava is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Brown University. Her research focuses on the interactions between intestinal bacteria and the immune system, studying how these interactions affect host health. Dr. Vaishnava utilizes innovative in-vivo tools and germ-free mouse models, in conjunction with a broad array of genetic, cellular, and biochemical approaches to explore these dynamics. She received her PhD from the University of Georgia and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Her lab investigates several key areas: the role of adaptive immunity in regulating host-microbe interactions, how bacteria regulate vitamin metabolism, and the stratification of bacterial communities in the intestinal mucus layer. Through her work, she aims to define the molecular mechanisms by which gut bacteria modulate immune function and influence host susceptibility to diseases.
