Matt Henke
Assistant Professor
Research Interests
The Henke lab is interested in discovering functional molecules from the human microbiome. To do this, we employ mass spectrometry, microbial culture, and a variety of bioassays to identify, purify and structurally characterize new molecules. We are particularly interested in how microbes fight each other for dominance in the gut (e.g., antibiotics), and how microbes interact both positively and negatively with our own cells (e.g., immune cell stimulation, epithelial cell behavior).
