Dr. Heather Galipeau is an Assistant Professor at McMaster University and Director of the Axenic Gnotobiotic Unit. Her research focuses on how interactions between the gut microbiome, diet, and the immune system contribute to intestinal diseases, particularly celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Her work combines human gnotobiotic animal models and translational approaches to understand how microbes influence intestinal inflammation and disease susceptibility, with the goal of developing microbiome-based strategies for prevention and treatment.
