Innate Immune Recognition and Comparative Immunogenomics
The Flamio Lab studies how vertebrate genomes detect bacterial signals, integrating bioinformatics, evolutionary genomics, and functional immunology. Our research uncovers fundamental principles of innate immunity, helping to understand how immune systems recognize pathogens and informing insights into human health.
We also explore immune diversity across species, including fish, providing an evolutionary perspective that can guide both comparative biology and conservation efforts.
