Understanding how the gut microbiome shapes maternal and neonatal immunity.
The Zeng Laboratory at Weill Cornell Medicine studies host-microbiome interactions during early life to uncover mechanisms that prevent inflammatory disease.
Maternal Immunity
We investigate how maternal
immune adaption during
pregnancy promotes tolerance
and protects against
inflammatory disease.
OUR RESEARCH
Gut Microbiome
We define how early-life
microbial communities shape
immune development and
long-term health outcomes.
Translational Therapeutics
We develop microbiome and
immune-based strategies to
prevent and treat inflammatory diseases in mothers and infants.
