DESCRIPTION:Kathy McCoy\, Gastroenterology & Mucosal Immunology\, Universi
 ty of Bern\nMicrobial colonization of mucosal surfaces is initiated during
  birth as soon as the newborn leaves the sterile uterine environment. Esta
 blishment of stable bacterial consortia then occurs over time through a dy
 namic process that is heavily shaped by exposure to environmental bacteria
  and external factors.  Composition of the commensal microbiota early in 
 life likely plays an important role in development of the immune system an
 d influences susceptibility to a variety of immune-mediated diseases. My r
 esearch aims to dissect out the immune regulatory effects of microbial com
 position and diversity early in life and to identify the key innate sensor
 s of microbial–derived signals.
