Welcome to the Hooper lab home page. We are in the Department of Immunology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. We are broadly interested in understanding how resident intestinal bacteria influence the biology of humans and other mammalian hosts. Our projects generally involve a mix of experimental approaches, ranging from work with animal models to structural methods for understanding protein function. Please explore our website to find out more about the lab’s ongoing research and the people doing the work.
