William Navarre is a professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. His research centers on the understanding of bacterial and fungal pathogens, employing cutting-edge techniques in bioinformatics and computational biology. His lab focuses on the interaction between host organisms and their microbiota, specifically within laboratory mice, which serve as essential animal models in studies of nutrition, physiology, pharmacology, cancer biology, behavior, and immunology. Navarre's work has emphasized the significant differences in microbial populations across various strains of mice, and how these differences may contribute to experimental reproducibility. He strives to uncover the roles of specific microbes in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and inflammation, having curated a unique collection of rare bacteria linked to intestinal inflammation in these models. His contributions extend to exploring gene regulation, functional genomics, and the broader implications of microbiomes in health and disease.
