The Hill Lab
The Hill Lab studies how diet and metabolism influence immune health and inflammatory disease. Our goal is to make impactful discoveries that aid in the prevention, diagnosis, and/or treatment food allergy, asthma, and obesity-associated inflammation, among other conditions. We are a multidisciplinary team of students, post-docs, staff scientists, and clinicians who are advancing our understanding of metabolic and inflammatory diseases.
Our laboratory is part of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania / Perelman School of Medicine (Penn) and the Division of Allergy and Immunology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). We are active members of the Penn Institute for Immunology and Immune Health (I3H), Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism (IDOM), and Cardiovascular Institute (CVI). We are also members of the Penn Immunology and Cell and Molecular Biology graduate groups.
