  My laboratory studies the strategies pathogens utilize to colonize and subvert the epithelial barrier. We have focused on the epithelial junctions as a target for bacterial pathogens, since the cell-cell junctions serve as both a barrier to infection and also a major control site for epithelial function. In particular, we are interested in how the gastric pathogen Helicobater pylori may cause cancer by interfering with cell signaling at the epithelial junctions. We are also studying how variou..

  Our laboratory investigates the pathogenesis of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, focusing on the functional roles of particular viral gene products in pathogenesis and virus-cell interactions in differentiated human cells in humans and in Scid-hu mouse models of VZV cell tropisms in vivo, and the immunobiology of VZV infections.

  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.

  The Stanford-LPCH Program provides an infrastructure for conducting clinical studies of vaccines in children and adults. We conduct immunology studies of seasonal influenza vaccines in twins, in a longitudinal cohort of young and elderly adults and in MELAS patients. Additionally, we are a CDC Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment site for which we are enrolling volunteers with GBS into a genetics study and patients with mitochondrial diseases into a vaccine safety chart review study

  The focus of my laboratory is the immune response to viral vaccines evaluating the ontogeny of responses in infants and limitations in immunocompromised hosts. We have studied responses to an early two-dose measles immunization, one versus 2 doses of varicella immunization, and polio vaccine in preterm versus term infants. Other active areas of research include measles and varicella immunity in HIV infected individuals, and transplant recipients.

  We are interested in developing new therapeutics and vaccines for respiratory viruses such as Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus. We are particularly interested in studying the immune response in children to these viruses and how these responses could be boosted or shaped using novel vaccine adjuvants

  My research focuses on epidemiologic aspects of viral vaccines and perinatal HIV infection. This includes the molecular epidemiology of factors affecting the immunogenicity of oral polio vaccine (OPV) in developing areas of the world, and now the epidemiology of transmission and circulation of vaccine derived polioviruses in order to assist in global eradication of polio. I also work in development of methods to prevent breastfeeding transmission of HIV in Africa.

  My area of research interest is focused on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of infections in children. Much of my research has focused on viral infections, especially those caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). I have conducted a number of studies concerned with the epidemiology of HSV-2 infections in pregnant women, their partners, and neonates. Recently, I have extended these epidemiologic studies to adolescents.
