Research Focus Areas

Research Interests

Our research is focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying microbial pathogenesis and the host responses that drive infection, compromise immunity, and trigger microbial sepsis. Our applied goal is to translate this research into front-line therapies (vaccines, antibiotics, diagnostics).
