Research
The immune response to viral infection may cause much greater damage than the virus itself. Studying patient specific gene variants in transgenic mouse models of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis, we explore how the innate immune system senses virus in the brain, mounts a tightly regulated response, and deciphers the molecular mechanisms underlying disease development.
Teaching activities
I teach Immunology and Microbiology to undergraduates in Medicine and Molecular Medicine, aiming to foster a passion for biomedical science and immunolgy in the next generation of researchers.
