Research Interests |
The major focus of my research is on the pathogenesis of and host response to Salmonella infection. Specifically I have been studying the contribution of the Salmonella Typhimurium L-asparaginase enzymes in promoting virulence and inhibition of T cell responses. Additionally, I have been investigating the role of inflammatory monocytes during Salmonella Typhimurium induced colitis – as related to disease pathology, bacterial control, and T cell activation. |
