Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My research interest is focused on Herpes virus pathogenesis and the host immune response to these viral infections. To characterize these interactions, we use flow-cytometry based immunology assays, culture-based assays, molecular techniques and tissue histology. My current study investigates anti-viral immunity to CMV in lung transplant patients to characterize the kinetics of CMV-specific T-cell reconstitution and to test its ability to predict CMV infection and allograft rejection.
