Research Interests |
I am interested in understanding the interaction between the immune system and pathogens. Particularly interested in the interactions that will allow the advent of new drug therapies especially as we are seeing an increase in drug resistance. I am also interested in the genetic implications of pathogenesis and resistance. |
