4. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Brooks lab seeks to mechanistically determine circadian clock regulation of innate immune functions at the intestinal epithelial barrier. Forming the first line of defense, the intestinal epithelium must acquire nutrients from the diet while maintaining harmony with a vast consortium of microorganisms known collectively as the microbiota. Endemic to the epithelium are specialized epithelial and immune cell types that produce antimicrobial proteins, bolster the epithelial barrier, and coordinate immune responses. These fundamental functions of innate immunity are regulated by the time of day.
