My research interests focus on microbial pathogenesis, vaccine development and delivery, adjuvnats, and their protection mechanisms in animal models.
Peripheral nerve repair. Specifically, understanding the relationship between the immune response to nerve injury and recovery and modulating the immune response to improve functional outcome after injury.
My lab is interested in using comparative approaches to advance reproductive medicine including infectious diseases, reproductive immunology, microbiome of the reproductive system, and the effects on the early neonatal period.
