Our lab studies Legionella infection and host interaction. Legionella are mainly environmental bacteria. Several species, in particular L. pneumophila and L. longbeachae, are pathogenic to humans Due to the development of artificial water systems, ...

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Neurodegneration
We are interested in the genetic and environmental factors that regulate regulatory lymphocyte development and function, and how they interact to regulate immune homeostasis.
My research can be grouped into 3 broad categories: i) defining the role of DNA damage response mechanisms (DDR) in tumorigenesis and chemosensitivity as a means to identify biomarkers and therapeutic targets, ii) repurposing ...
