The Hill Lab

"Exploring how diet and immunity intersect to shape human health."

At the Hill Lab, we study how diet and metabolism shape immune health and drive inflammatory diseases. Our goal is to translate insights at the intersection of immunology and metabolism into better diagnostics and therapies for allergic disease, obesity-associated inflammation, and asthma.

We are a multidisciplinary team of trainees, scientists, and physicians working collaboratively to advance understanding of immune regulation in health and disease.

Our laboratory is based in 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), as well as the Immunology & Cell and Molecular Biology graduate groups.
