Immune-Microbiota Interactions Lab
@agkriegel.bsky.social
Our lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of host-microbiota interactions in immune-mediated diseases. In particular, the group investigates mechanisms of immunological tolerance related to the gut, skin and other mucosal microbiota.
Merry Christmas from the Immune–Microbiota Interaction Lab! 🎄
We treated our microbiomes at the UKM Christmas dinner and toasted to the great discoveries of the past year.
Looking ahead to 2026 and all it has in store for us!

🌍 World Arthritis Day 💙

Today we stand with everyone affected by arthritis and other rheumatic diseases — and celebrate the collective efforts of patients, clinicians, and researchers working toward better understanding and care.

Accomplishing goals together in the lab and also on the street. Last Sunday we successfully took part in the Münster Marathon relay. Our Martinis and Egallis did a fantastic job! #TeamSpirit #MünsterMarathon #Running #FitMicrobiome

Last Tuesday our yearly team retreat took place at Mühlenhof. We spent some time learning about each other's earlier career steps, talking about future projects and we shared a nice meal together #LabRetreat #TeamBuilding #FeedYourMicrobiome

Recently we had the invaluable opportunity to meet Michael S Gilmore, who visited our lab. He is the Chief Scientific Officer of Mass Eye and Ear/Mass General Brigham and also serves as Director of the Infectious Disease Institute at Harvard Medical School. Thank you!
