Immunology and Microbiology

Investigating the mechanisms of infection and high fat diet/obesity-induced, severe asthma Investigating the role of the newly discovered interferon (IFN)-epsilon in Chlamydia-induced reproductive tract disease Investigating the roles of infection and smoking in neurological diseases Investigating the interplay between of iron, infection and immunity in the context of respiratory tract infections and lung disease These research programs aim to inform novel targets for the development of improved therapeutic strategies for severe, steroid-resistant asthma, infection-associated respiratory and reproductive tract diseases and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis.
