2. Use of human gut samples to study HIV, Covid-19, barrier function, systemic inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease, and microbiome. Approaches employed: organoid models, isolation of epithelial cells and lymphocytes, single cell, spatial transcriptomic analysis, microbial profiling, and blood-based profiling.
