Charles Bevins is interested in host defenses against microbial pathogens, with a focus on the body’s antimicrobial peptides called defensins. The long-range goal of Bevins’ research is to understand the specific role that defensins play in mucosal innate immunity and to characterize the pathophysiology that characterizes impaired expression of these peptides, such as inflammatory bowel disease.
