• Changes in microbial communities and their metabolites that drive inflammatory disease (eg. effects of antibiotics, dietary and other factors)
• Environmental cues and pollutants linked to the development of hematologic malignancies.
• The impact of climate change on endemic infectious diseases (eg. Tuberculosis, Dengue Fever, Chagas Disease, and others).
